In the Glass — Tasting Notes
A refined sparkling with a delicate mousse and crisp acidity—no harshness, just balance. The Chardonnay (85%) and Aligoté (15%) blend delivers brioche-butter character earned from 18 months on lees, anchored by bright citrus and a mineral spine from limestone soils. At 12% alcohol, it drinks with genuine freshness and approachability that rewards you the moment it touches your lips.
The Winery — JCB by Jean-Charles Boisset
Jean-Charles Boisset, born into one of Burgundy's great winemaking families, now stewards more than 20 estates spanning the world's finest regions. His innovative JCB Collection pairs Old and New World techniques; each wine is a limited edition numbered to reflect his winemaking philosophy and personal milestones. For this Crémant, he sources grapes across Burgundy—the warmer Mâconnais provides richness, while the crisp Châtillonnais and Yonne in the north contribute mineral spine. Aged on its lees using the traditional Champagne method, it marries depth with accessibility.
At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving
This is sparkling wine for real drinking pleasure, not just formality. Pair it with shellfish in butter sauce, poached chicken, or soft creamy cheeses—it excels wherever Chardonnay traditionally shines. Whether you're exploring sparkling options in France or deepening your understanding of classic Burgundy, this landmark example costs a fraction of vintage Champagne while delivering serious winemaking from a family name that built the region's reputation. Vegan and vegetarian-friendly. Serve chilled.
