Joy!

Joy! is a new Sparkling Cuvée from Iron Horse, produced only in magnums and aged 10 to 15 years on the yeast in the bottle. It is a gorgeous combination of elegance, refinement and power. Joy! is "non-vintage" or "multi-vintage" in the sense of representing a range of years. Production is very limited. We currently have 1,200 magnums sufficiently aged. Younger vintages will continue to age at Iron Horse until they reach this quality level.

Food Pairing

The perfect, most glamorous, joyful aperitif. Pairs beautifully with freshly shucked oysters, thinly sliced smoked salmon; farm fresh radishes with rich, creamy butter and fleur de sel sea salt, pate.
