🏰 【A superb, fresh Crémant often compared favorably to Champagne, especially given its zero-dosage style and extended lees aging, crafted by the highly regarded natural winemakers at Domaine Labet.】 The 2020 Domaine Labet Crémant du Jura is produced using the traditional method, similar to Champagne, with secondary fermentation in the bottle and typically aged for 16-24 months on its lees, with the 2020 vintage seeing 18 months sur lattes. This Crémant is primarily Chardonnay (95-100%) with a small addition of Pinot Noir, sourced from vines grown on calcareous clay soils with deep yellow marl in the Jura region. Expect a crisp, dry, and highly acidic sparkling wine, showcasing flavors of Granny Smith apple, key lime, and other citrus notes, complemented by mineral undertones of chalk dust and salinity. Autolytic notes of leesy yeast, brioche, and a hint of walnut or hazelnut add complexity, while a surprising weight on the palate keeps it from feeling heavy. 🍴 This versatile Crémant pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Consider fresh seafood like oysters, grilled scallops, or shrimp cocktail. It's also excellent with lean fish, fresh goat cheese, or light poultry dishes. For an Asian twist, try it with steamed fish or delicate dim sum. 🥂 Perfect as an aperitif to awaken the senses, this Crémant is also ideal for informal celebrations, brunches, or any occasion where a high-quality, refreshing sparkling wine is desired. Its clean and precise character makes it a delightful easy-drinking choice.
