"The Comeback" by Ella Berman paired with Estate Brut
A former child star reclaims her voice after years of silence in Hollywood. Grace Turner's journey from complicity to defiance reminds us that strength often emerges from our darkest chapters. This compelling contemporary novel explores trauma, power dynamics, and ultimately, redemption as Grace navigates the complex entertainment industry that both made and nearly destroyed her.
Why they work: Like Grace's transformation, our Estate Brut reveals its complexity gradually, with layers of toasted brioche and lemon curd building to a memorable finish.
"Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus paired with Brut Rosé
In 1960s America, brilliant scientist Elizabeth Zott becomes the unlikely star of a cooking show where – with precision and wit – she teaches women about chemistry, equality, and independence. Despite facing institutional sexism and personal tragedy, Elizabeth refuses to compromise her standards or identity. Her methodical approach to both science and cooking inspires women to think differently about their capabilities and lives.
Why they work: Bold yet perfectly balanced, our Brut Rosé mirrors Elizabeth's meticulous character – finely detailed and precise with notes of bright fruit and warm spice.
"Circe" by Madeline Miller paired with Ultra Brut
Miller transforms a vilified witch from Greek mythology into a complex heroine who discovers her power on her own terms – a timeless tale of finding strength in solitude. Banished to a remote island, Circe develops her craft and independence away from the gods who dismissed her. Through centuries of solitude interrupted by fascinating visitors, she evolves from a timid nymph into a formidable woman who makes choices that defy the gods themselves.
Why they work: Our Ultra Brut is crisp, mineral-driven, and unapologetically itself – much like Circe, who finds her power in embracing her unique essence.
