LCBO Note |

This Blanc de Noirs is made from 100% Pinot Noir, then given a splash of Cabernet Franc Icewine as the unique dosage. Look for lively red cherry, strawberry, apricot, marmalade, floral and fresh-baked pastry joined by a touch of orange pekoe tea. This will pair beautifully with shrimp cocktail or soft cheeses, and will make a fine sipper too. |
