Presentation
Presentation
The Cloître des Cordeliers is steeped in 8 centuries of history. The story started in the 14th century, when Pope Clément V granted the land to an order of Franciscan monks, also known as Cordeliers; the winery, however, was not established until 1892. Today, the Cloister is classed as a Historical Monument on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites, and is a highly unusual, timeless monument, one of the major visitor attractions in mediaeval Saint Emilion.

Advice
Serving
To be enjoyed fresh.
Tasting
Very light yellow in colour, this wine offers extremely fine bubbles with a beautiful bead all around the glass. It emanates a fragrance of fine fruit with a very light note of frank almond. With a very nice balance in the mouth, it offers a very pleasant aromatic explosion that ends with a long, lively and frank finish with a fruity note.
Food pairings
As an aperitif, as an accompaniment to avocado carpaccio, duck foie gras toast, a slice of cured ham and figs. Also goes very well with Chinese or Thai cuisine.
And for those with a sweet tooth, to be enjoyed as an accompaniment to desserts dominated by exotic fruits (pineapple, banana, mangoes).
