Lambert de Seyssel Petit Royal
Seyssel, FR
Regular price $19.99
So here’s the thing…sparkling wines, whether Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, Cremant or Francocortia have a tendency to be consumed only special or unique occasions. The bubbly exuberance surely lends itself to celebrations, but why can’t Tuesday night be a celebration?
Enter the Lambert de Seyssel Royal. So, we all know that Dom Perignon did not invent sparkling wines nor was Champagne the first wine region in France to promote its sparkling wines (that honor goes to Limoux), but did you know that the tiny Alpine village of Seyssel was making wine as far back as the 11th century and was among the most prestigious sparkling wine regions of the 19th century?
Made of local grapes Molette and Altesse, this fresh sparkling wine is honeyed and floral but not at all sweet. Perfect as an aperitif, it will enliven your, well, life.
