JC Calvet Crémant de Bordeaux Sparkling Rosé is a dry, traditional-method sparkling wine poured by the glass at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Made by the Calvet family, one of Bordeaux’s most storied wine houses, this Crémant blends Cabernet Franc and Merlot into a salmon-hued sparkler. We poured it onto the list because it delivers Champagne-method elegance with the red-fruit charm of Bordeaux.

About the Producer

Calvet is a Bordeaux name with more than two centuries of winemaking heritage. The family built its reputation across generations as one of the region’s enduring producers. The JC Calvet label carries that tradition into a Crémant de Bordeaux, an appellation reserved for sparkling wines made in the same traditional method used in Champagne.

Region & Grape

This Crémant comes from Bordeaux in southwestern France and is made from Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the region’s classic red grapes pressed gently for a rosé style. As a Crémant de Bordeaux, it is produced by the traditional method, meaning a second fermentation in the bottle creates its fine, persistent bubbles, the same approach used for Champagne.

Tasting Notes

This is a dry rosé sparkler with a delicate salmon color. The nose offers red and dark fruit with a soft floral lift. On the palate, fine bubbles carry crunchy red-berry character with balanced acidity and a clean, rounded finish. It is refined and food-friendly rather than sweet.
