"This bone-dry, traditional-method sparkler is a firm favourite. Those who prefer a more fruit-driven fizz like Prosecco might not appreciate the austere tart green apple, lemon zest and ozone-like minerality of this 100% Chardonnay, but at this price it's a great alternative to an entry-level Champagne. There's lovely digestive biscuit notes to add depth and interest, refreshed by mouthwatering acidity and a fine mousse."
Winemaker Notes:
"Nicole Deriaux’s gold-standard Crémant du Jura is always from a single vintage (though it is labeled non-vintage), produced from Chardonnay from her younger vines. The fermentation occurs in stainless steel but after malolactic, the wine is racked into small barrel and demi-muids for two years. At that point, the entire production is assembled and left for several months in cuve before being bottled. This is a true “brut zero” and never receives a dosage, resulting in a linear, racy sparkler of mouthwatering minerality and sizzling drive."
Alcohol: 12%
