A Word from the Sommelier
Cépaé is a direct importer of wines selected by Julien Hervet. We shared Manca's delicious menu with Cépaé, and they hand-picked three incredible wines to pair perfectly with your meal, or to sip throughout the gala evening.
White : Les Graviers, Domaine Mosny, Montlouis-sur-Loire
A very beautiful Loire Valley wine... it is all about the finesse of the Chenin Blanc! Although dry, it is a mellow and very fruity wine. The nose is fruity and floral, smooth and with just the right amount of acidity and a long finish.
Red: Les Charmes, Domaine Bel Avenir, Beaujolais
Dense, complex and powerful wine, which intermingles cocoa, spices, morello cherry and under wood. A molten and suave wine with a beautiful ruby robe typical of this appellation.
Sparkling: Champagne Or Blanc, Benoit Cocteaux
This champagne has a lively and bright color, aromas of white flowers, citrus fruit, honeysuckle and lemon, the mouth is powerful.
