Les Jamelles Méthode Traditionelle Chardonnay Pinot Noir Brut NV

This sparkling wine features fine, long-lasting bubbles that rise like delicate pearls, forming a narrow ribbon of mousse. Its greenish-gold color with brilliant highlights is complemented by a lively nose, offering aromas of tropical fruits like mango, dried apricot, and buttery brioche. On the palate, it is refreshing with a slightly mentholated finish.

The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for this wine come from the Limoux region, where late-ripening vineyards preserve freshness and moderate alcohol levels. Chardonnay is harvested mechanically at night to avoid fermentation, while Pinot Noir is handpicked and gently pressed to prevent color extraction. Both are fermented at 18°C, with 3 months on lees. The final blend is selected for balance and acidity, and the second fermentation takes place in cool cellars (9°–12°C). The wine ages on lees for 9 months, gaining complexity from the yeast breakdown.
