No matter which type of alcoholic beverage you like best, Universal Discount Package Store is the go-to source for all drinks in Norwich, CT. But if you’re looking for a bit of a more sophisticated option instead of the usual brew, this wine store carries a truly top-shelf solution: Belaire Gold Brut.

During the 1920s, the artistic and cultural scene in France was blindingly vibrant, thanks to the prosperity of the post-war era. This period, dubbed “Années folles” (or “crazy years” in English), brought with it several unique styles of theater, art, and drink. This style was the inclusion of sugarcane into wine, lending a body and taste length that couldn’t be matched with other ingredients.

Belaire Gold Brut revives that sugarcane addition of those crazy years in a big way. Sitting on top of a complex blend of flavors, including mango and fresh Chardonnay fruit, the sugarcane gives this wine a structure that won’t soon be forgotten. As you sip, you’ll also be treated to the aromas of rich brioche, pear, and stone fruits, giving each tip of the glass a scent and flavor journey as rich as the history it embodies.

Naturally, a drink this special needs to be noticed on the wine store shelves, and Belaire Gold Brut doesn’t disappoint. Understanding the majesty of the hand-picked Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes is undoubtedly the star of the show. Luc Belaire houses Belaire Gold Brut in a crystal-clear bottle. This allows for a full view of the golden bounty within and the wine’s unmistakable embossed foil labels give it immediate and beautiful recognition.

Once you pick this wonderful bottle up in the wine store, you’ll want to pop it open and enjoy as soon as possible. Slightly chilled, Belaire Gold Brut makes for the perfect aperitif, but also can be paired with seafood and poultry for a meal your palate will remember for ages.

If you’re ready to relive the Années folles, head to Universal Discount Package Store to grab a bottle (or two). It’s sure to be a purchase that will have you saying, “C’est magnifique!” For more wine information, or to view the inventory, call (860) 889-6555 or visit the website.
