The appearance is pale gold with a hint of green and fine bubbles. Aromas of white flowers and citrus fruit give way to a creamy and smooth palate with flavors of freshly baked bread, golden delicious apples, and Meyer lemons. Truly harmonious. Food Pairing Whether enjoyed poolside while lounging on a chaise, with friends during a leisurely Sunday brunch, or popped on a day of celebration, François Montand delivers a refreshingly affordable, sparkling French delight. Francois Montand is a great way to start any meal, and it's a fine accompaniment for ceviche, salads, white fish in white sauce or simply for dessert.
