Taste
Pale salmon pink in the glass with fine, elegant bubbles. Aromas of raspberry and red currant lead, lifted by a fresh hint of mint. The palate is lively and well-balanced, with a creamy mousse and bright red fruit framed by subtle notes of vanilla on the finish. Clean, refreshing, and easy to love.
About the Winery / Winemaker
French Blue Wines brings a modern, American-led perspective to classic Bordeaux winemaking. Founded and crafted by American winemaker Stephanie Rivin, French Blue focuses on balance—in the wine and in life. Produced in Bordeaux using the traditional method, this Brut Rosé showcases a historic region through a fresh, accessible lens. Crémant de Bordeaux accounts for just a small fraction of the region’s production, making these sparkling wines a rewarding discovery.
Why We Love It
This is bubbles without the fuss. It has the polish of traditional-method sparkling wine with an approachable, everyday feel. Perfect as an aperitif, a brunch staple, or an easy celebration bottle—French Blue Brut Rosé consistently overdelivers for the price.
