Sommelier's Tips 

1. Chill Properly

• Serve at the right temperature, ideally between 40°F and 50°F (4°C to 10°C). Chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or in an ice bucket for about 20 minutes.

2. Choose the Right Glass

• Use flute glasses to concentrate the bubbles and aromas, or opt for wide-bowled glasses for a more aromatic experience. Avoid using wide, flat glasses as they allow bubbles to dissipate too quickly.

3. Pour with Care

• Tilt the glass at a 45-degree angle while pouring to minimise foam. Fill the glass about two-thirds full to allow the bubbles to rise and enhance the aroma.

4. Savor the Aroma

• Before sipping, take a moment to appreciate the bouquet. Swirl the glass gently to release the wine's aromatic compounds.

5. Pair with Food

• It pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods. Try it with light appetizers, seafood, cheese, or even fried dishes to balance flavors.

6. Experiment with Cocktails

• Get creative by using it in cocktails. It can elevate drinks like mimosas or bellinis, adding a festive touch.

7. Enjoy Freshness

• Without doubt － Best enjoyed fresh. Once opened, consume it within a few days, and make sure to reseal it properly to preserve the bubbles.

8. Mind the Occasion

• Choose yours according to the occasion. For celebrations, opt for a vintage or premium cuvée; for casual gatherings, a more approachable option works well.

9. Take Your Time

• Savor each sip － it is all about the experience, so take your time to appreciate its flavors and the moment.
