Veuve du Vernay ICE offers a new way to enjoy this classic spoarkling wine, as this blend is specially designed to be served and enjoyed on ice, in a large wine glass. Pale yellow with green tints in the glass with a generous foam, fine and numerous bubbles. The bouquet is fruity, floral and fresh, whilst the fine effervescence is without excess. Young, mellow and fine on the palate.

Veuve du Vernay claims an intimate link to the history of French sparkling wine, through the exploits of scientist Jean Eugène Charmat, who's son Robert created the brand in the 1960s. The excellent quality of the base wines and fruit used, in combination with careful monitoring of the secondary fermentations, result in a delightfully fresh and delicate sparkling wine with a charming touch of fruitiness.

The golden bubbles of Veuve du Vernay are made respecting the French tradition by the House of PATRIARCHE based in Beaune in Burgundy. The grapes come from vines which have been patiently cared for, with respect for the environment, by grape growers who are partners of PATRIARCHE. When the grapes arrive at maturity, the vines are carefully harvested and the grapes are chosen. The search for perfection at each step guaranties an irreproachable quality and gives the Veuve du Vernay sparkling wines their unique character and the well-known aromatic complexity.

To be enjoyed within 1 or 2 years from purchase.
