Introduction to Le Monde Sparkling Rosé

0:01

Hey
,

it's

Domain

Dave
,

CheapWineFindercom
,

welcome
.

We

got

another

wine

review

today
.

We

wrote

it

up

on

the

CheapWineFindercom

website
,

so

if

you

want

to

read

it
,

it's

over

there
.

This

is

a

wine

I

found

for

$8.99
,

though

it

was

$8

off
.

Why
,

I

don't

know
.

Maybe

it

was

end

of

the

bin

type

of

thing
,

but

it's

the

Le

Monde

Sparkling

Pinot

Nero

Rosé
.

It's

a

brute

wine
,

meaning

it's

not

sweet
.

Le

Monde

means

the

world
.

Like

I

said
,

it's

an

estate

wine
.

Speaker 1
0:40

It's

from

Frulli
,

which

is

in

the

northeast

section

of

Italy
.

You

go

any

further

east

and

you're

in

Slovenia
.

You

go

north
,

you're

in

Austria
.

The

same

general

area

is

mostly

a

white

wine

region
.

This

is

kind

of

in

the

area

where

all

the

Pinot

Grigio

is

from
,

in

the

area

where

all

the

Pinot

Grigio

is

from
.

So

a

bubbly

Pinot

Noir

or

Pinot

Nero

is

a

little

bit

out

of

the

usual
,

but

not

too

much
.

I'm

going

to

take

a

sip
.

Speaker 1
1:20

Pinot

Noir

in

France

Wine Production Method Explained

Speaker 1
1:22

is

one

of

the

two

main

grapes

of

champagne
.

This

is

not

made

like

a

champagne
.

This

bubbly

is

made

in

the

Charmette

method
,

which

is

how

they

make

Prosecco
.

You

ferment

the

wine

the

first

time

and

then

you

transfer

the

wine

to

a

large

pressurized

vat
.

It's

got

a

hood

on

it
,

it'll

lock

down
.

Add

the

measured

amount

of

yeast
,

measured

amount

of

sugar
,

lock

the

hood

down
,

turn

the

pressure

up

and

after

in

this

case
,

20

days
,

you

get

the

bubbles
,

will

incorporate

into

the

wine
.

The

fermentation

process

second

time

releases

CO2
.

The

CO2's

got

nowhere

to

go

but

incorporate

into

the

wine
.

The

fermentation

process

a

second

time

releases

CO2
.

The

CO2

has

got

nowhere

to

go

but

back

into

the

wine
.

And

there's

the

bubbles
.

And

after

20

days

it

holds
,

they

turn

the

pressure

off
,

or

at

least

maybe

just

a

little

lightly
,

for

another

60

days

just

to

get

the

wine

to

settle

and

you

bottle

it
.

Speaker 1
2:23

So

this

is

a

bubbly

made

with

champagne

style

grapes

but

made

in

Prosecco

style
.

Flavor Profile and Tasting Notes

Speaker 1
2:30

So

how

does

it

taste
?

It's

light

and

it's

delicate
.

It's

got

that

kind

of

acidity

that

makes

you

want

to

reach

for

the

next

sip

before

you

really

think

about

it
.

I

mean
,

you're

taking

that

sip

and

you

haven't

actually

said

I

need

another

sip
.

I'm

going

to

pour

a

little

more

in

my

glass

because

I

am

sipping

it

a

little

bit

more

than

I

should
.

Or

maybe

not

that

I

should
,

but

the

acidity's

got

a

hold

on

me
.

Or

maybe

not

that

I

should
,

but

this

sooty's

got

a

hold

on

me
.

It's

got

cherry

maybe

more

rather

than

fresh

cherry
,

maybe

cherry

hard

candy
.

It's

got

a

little

brioche
.

It's

got

a

little

bit

of

raspberry

and

those

type

of

things
,

plums
,

but

all

light

and

delicate

flavored
.

It's

got

maybe

a

little

bit

of

minerality

to

it
.

Speaker 1
3:29

This

isn't

maybe

I

don't

know

if

this

is

a

wine

that

you

would

necessarily

pair

with

something
.

A

lot

of

times

you

can

pair

a

bubbly

with
,

I

mean
,

an

interesting

salad

or

cold

shrimp

or

you

know
,

white
,

a

white

fish

of

some

sort

white

pasta
.

I

don't

know

if

I'd

do

it

with

this

one
,

but

I

mean
,

just

because

the

flavor

is

so

delicate
,

it

might

not

stand

up

to

whatever

you're

having
.

I

mean
,

I

imagine

there

are

things

you

can

have

that

it

will

stand

up

to
.

But

this

is

a

sipper
.

It's

got

very
,

very

tiny

bubbles
.

I

read

somewhere

that

you

can

tell

about

the

quality

of

a

bubbly

I

use

bubbles

by

the

size

of

the

bubbles
.

The

tinier

they

are
,

the

better

integrated

there

is

and

the

better

the

wine

is

produced
.

And

this

has

teeny
,

tiny

bubbles
,

though

even

like

the

worst

bubble

he

has

tiny

bubbles
.

Speaker 1
4:24

I'll

take

another

sip
.

So

it's

Le

Mans

Sparkling

Pinot

Nero

Rosé
.

You're

going

to

have

to

look

in

your

Final Thoughts and Recommendation

Speaker 1
4:40

Italian

wine

section
.

This

is

not

one

of

the

ones

you're

going

to

see

on

the

end

caps
,

and

they

might

not

have

it

everywhere
,

though

I

think

they

have

enough

of

this

out

there

and

it's

a

really

interesting

specialty
.

You

can

find

it

at

$8.99
.

Speaker 1
4:54

Like

I

did
,

it's

an

interesting

sparkling

wine
.

I

mean
,

it's

just

a

summer

sipper
,

I

mean

it's
.

I

don't

normally

have

champagne

with

meals
,

but

you

know
,

so

though

this

one

doesn't

lend

itself

to

that
,

it's

perfectly

fine
,

but

the

more

I

sip

it

and

the

more

the

city

makes

me

want

to

sip

it
,

the

better

I

sip

it
,

and

the

more

the

city

makes

me

want

to

sip

it
,

the

better

I

like

it
.

Delicate
,

refreshing

man
,

that's

what

a

bubbly

is

supposed

to

do
,

isn't

it
?

So

Closing and Next Review Preview

Speaker 1

The

Le

Monde

Sparkling

Pinot

Nero

Rosé

and

it's

kind

of

cool
