La Croix Saint Vincent – Bordeaux Blanc
Les crémants de Bordeaux sont des vins "mousseux" blanc ou rosé. Issus de la région de l'Entre-Deux-Mers, les spécificités de ces vins sont fortement liées à leur terroir ainsi qu'à l'influence climatique océanique et tempérée de la région. Situés entre la Garonne et la Dordogne, les vignobles de crémant bénéficient d'un taux élevé d'humidité essentiel à leur élaboration, selon la méthode champenoise.
The story of Saint Vincent goes back to the days of the Roman Empire, but it was in the Middle Ages that winegrowers chose Saint Vincent as their patron saint to represent them socially and religiously. Legend has it that Saint Vincent was chosen because the first syllable of his name is none other than "vin", the French word for wine. Saint Vincent's day is 22 January, the traditional day for the start of pruning. Available in Bordeaux white and red.
