Domaine St-Jacques 2021

Québec, Canada

Produced by the St-Jacques Domaine, this beautiful Quebec rosé composed of 75 % Lucie Kuhlmann and 25 % Marshal Foch is characterized by notes of small strawberries in Quebec fields, green tea, raspberries, small red cherries and citrus. Dry, lively and mineral, it will be very interesting on this kind of dish in pink sauce. See the product

Grisette Framboise, 4.5%

Pie Braque

A blond beer of the grisette type, it has been enhanced with a generous dose of raspberry. With the frank notes of raspberry, which will bring a light acidity to the beer, it will also bring you slightly peppery notes due to the yeast. See the product
