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.

To be enjoyed fresh.
Tasting
Fine bubbles, delightful notes of white fruits, very expressive on the palate, lively and vivacious with good freshness on the finish.
Food pairings
As an aperitif, with 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, enjoy it with desserts made from exotic fruits (pineapple, banana, mango).
