CHARDONNAY RATAFIA

Ratafia is a drink made by mutage of Champagne grape juice, to which wine alcohol is added, a blend of Marc and Fine de Champagne. It is aged in 220-liter oak barrels for a minimum of 6 months. It is then aged in a solera in 2000-liter foudres.

The origin of the word Ratafia comes from the Latin "Rata Fiat" which meant: let the treaty be ratified. It was customary to share a glass when a deal was concluded. The winemaker reserved this delicate beverage that delighted the grape harvesters.

It is usually consumed as an aperitif, but it is refreshing in a cocktail with 1/3 crushed ice, 1/3 Schweppes, 1/3 ratafia.

Tasting notes

The amber-colored Ratafia Le Mesnil offers a beautifully long, round, and silky finish. Its
aromas of buttered toast, mango jam, honey, and peach in syrup will delight your senses. On the palate, the Ratafia is warm with notes of candied and exotic fruits, as well as hints of raisins on the finish.
