The Orfèvres du Vin (which literally means the goldsmiths of wine) are ringing in the festive season with a delicious sparkling wine from Burgundy. Delicate bubbles, a light yellow color with subtle flavors of dry yet fruity berries, perfect with a rich cream-topped apple pie at the end of a meal or cheddar cheese toasts offering a delightful way to begin the holiday season evenings. The Orfèvres du Vin’s Crémant de Bourgogne Cuvée Impériale, is a delightful blend of three vintage years of wines emanating from vineyards of Chardonnay grapes. And the good news is if you order up two cases (that’s 12 bottles in all) the Orfèvres du Vin will treat you to a magnum of this lovely Imperial Sparkling Burgundy. The collective Orfèvres du Vin, originally called Charnay-lès-Mâcon, created in 1929 and which brings together some 70 members, strives to create the finest in white wines in the hilly Mâconnais, a delightful region nestled between Burgundy to the north and the Beaujolais to its south. Named for the town of Mâcon, it is known for producing good value, excellent white wines made mainly from the Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc grape varieties.
