Empress III dazzles with a bright ruby hue and persistent bubbles, inviting you in with its bouquet of wild strawberries, raspberries, and floral hints of violets. The palate bursts with juicy red fruit flavors, balanced by refreshing acidity and a creamy mouthfeel, while a subtle minerality adds elegance. The clean, lingering finish of berries and brioche makes it a perfect companion for fresh seafood, light salads, or a charcuterie board, ideal for any celebration.
Empress III Gamay Noir pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes like grilled shrimp and oysters, as well as fresh salads featuring strawberries and goat cheese. It complements charcuterie boards with prosciutto and soft cheeses, and works well with roast chicken or duck. For dessert, consider berry tarts or cheesecake to enhance the wine's vibrant fruit character.
