Chandon Riche Extra Dry

Chandon Riche is indeed luscious and well endowed. It exhibits an entrancing floral bouquet that is followed by just a whisper of ripe, exotic fruit. Rich, honeyed fruit flavors accompany a soft velvety texture. A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and a hint of Muscat, Riche offers up ripe peach and white nectarine flavors; yet, it never crosses the boundary into real sweetness despite the wine's persistent, long layered finish that is laden with apricot and honey. In the end, vibrant citrus flavors help Riche keep its lovely equilibrium, and what harmony this is!

Chandon Riche is majestic with today's eclectic cuisine and pairs beautifully with many hard to match foods. Riche enhances rich and spicy foods as well as fruit-bases desserts. This wine's round voluptuous style coats the palate and balances the heat of spicy foods, complementing dishes featuring chilies, cilantro, lemongrass or green curry. Riche also works well with rich foods such as pate and foie gras, or desserts like fresh fruit tarts and tarte tatin. We also suggest that you serve Chandon Riche as an aperitif, served ice cold into a chilled flute. Now that's liquid gold. Stay tuned for California's next gold rush. Giddyap!
