Maison de Madeleine Blanc de Blancs - Item Code: 09485
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Bright and lifted, this Blanc de Blancs suits an aperitif or a festive toast, offering a crisp, elegant feel in the glass. Made in France from Chardonnay, it shows a fine mousse and classic lees-derived finesse; ABV 0.11. Traditional-method cues give it poise and structure while keeping the palate lively and refreshing.
Expect lemon zest, green apple, and white blossom layered with subtle brioche, almond, and a chalky mineral line. With oysters, its saline snap and citrus cut amplify the shellfish’s briny sweetness; with goat cheese, the vibrant acidity and creamy bead slice through the tang, leaving a clean, mouthwatering finish.

Sparkling wine is a type of wine characterized by its effervescence, which is created through natural or artificial carbonation. This category includes various styles made from grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Prosecco (Glera), each contributing unique flavor profiles ranging from citrus and green apple to floral notes and biscuit-like aromas. Sparkling wines can be produced using different methods, including the Traditional Method (Méthode Champenoise) and the Tank Method (Charmat), resulting in diverse textures and complexities.
The sweetness level of sparkling wines varies widely, with classifications such as Brut Nature, Extra Dry, and Demi-Sec catering to different palates. These wines are often enjoyed with a variety of foods; they pair beautifully with oysters, fried dishes, cheese platters, light salads, or even desserts like fruit tarts. Originating from renowned regions like Champagne in France and Prosecco in Italy, sparkling wines offer an array of experiences that highlight their vibrant character and versatility.
