NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Iconic New Orleans establishment Commander’s Palace announces the launch of Commander’s Palace Cuvée Brut, the restaurant’s latest and most exciting wine project. Produced in partnership with Terres Secrètes and made with grapes from the Mâconnais region of Burgundy, the pinot noir-based sparkling wine displays hints of red berries and light spice-forward notes, with a toasty richness to finish. The Commander’s Palace Cuvée (SRP: $42) is now available for purchase online for nationwide shipping, as well as by the half-glass, glass and bottle at the historic restaurant.
Terres Secrètes is one of France’s celebrated cooperative wineries, founded in the early 1950s and supported by dozens of talented family growers in the greater Mâconnais. Commander’s Palace Cuvée Brut is produced using the same ages-old methods and grapes found in Champagne, resulting in a near-identical quality to pinot noir-based champagnes. Suggested pairings include seafood, duck, mushrooms, root vegetables and cheeses such as Manchego, Parmesan and Gruyère.
Celebrating its 130th anniversary this year, Commander’s Palace is a culinary landmark that has become the pinnacle for New Haute Creole cuisine and whimsical Louisiana charm. The storied wine program, led by James Beard Award-nominated “Wine Guy” Dan Davis, is renowned for its inventory of over 20,000 bottles and 2,400 menu selections featuring all major wine regions across the globe. It is a twelve-time Wine Spectator Grand Award winner and was a finalist for the James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Wine Program award in 2016.
“We are very proud of our thoughtful wine program here at Commander’s Palace, and the introduction of this beautifully crisp cuvée further solidifies the restaurant as a true pioneer of gastronomic excellence,” says Dan Davis, Wine Guy for Commander’s Palace. “We hope this gives all Commander’s Palace enthusiasts around the country an excuse to raise a glass wherever they may be and reminisce about the lasting memories they have created here at Commander’s Palace.”
The Commander’s Palace Cuvée Crémant de Bourgogne Brut NV is part of the New Orleans restaurant’s growing selection of items that can be shipped to your doorstep. Favorites such as the legendary turtle soup, seafood gumbo, pecan pie and others are currently available via Goldbelly. The restaurant will also introduce a collection of branded cocktail mixers before the end of the year.
