This luscious wine features a stunning, deep purple color in the glass. On the nose, alluring aromas of black currants, dark cherries and black plums are complimented by hints of eucalyptus and dried roses. On the palate, flavors of blueberry, blackberry, licorice and notes of baking spice lead to a full, rich and concentrated mouthfeel with fine-grained tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
Champagne Decanter
Inspired by wine, and in love with luxury, bold visionary and daring vintner Jean-Charles Boisset declares his admiration for Baccarat with the Passion Collection. Beautifully shaped like a wine glass, this decanter is round so the aromatic expression of the sparkling wine can escape and be brought back into the served glass. Wine can easily be poured into the inviting lip and the narrow neck is designed for a gentle, elegant and slow pour representing the slow evolution of winemaking. The diamond cut stem is a nod to the grape being our diamond and allows for the carafe to easily be held. The base is powerful and the decanter is a commanding presence on your table.

In Passion for Wine, French vintner Jean-Charles Boisset and American sommeliere Marnie Old join forces to create the ultimate wine resource - a book that clearly and concisely explains why wines taste the way they do and how to zero in on styles that suit your tastes. Passion for Wine is elegant in its simplicity and practical in its real-word relevance. Best of all, it harnesses the power and visualization by using infographics and images to convey wine's most complex concepts with ease.
"Jean-Charles Boisset is the modern wine industry's great impresario. In his book Passion for Wine he sets the stage for new and delicious vision of an ancient libation. Unmasking snobbery and silly constraints, Jean-Charles encourages us to get back to the real reason we drink wine; that is for the sheer pleasure of it." - Eileen Crane, CEO of Domine Carneros
