✨ Technical Specifications
Engineered specifically for consumption over ice, this demi-sec sparkling expression is crafted primarily from Chardonnay sourced through Maison du Vigneron under the Les Grands Chais de France umbrella. Secondary fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks (Charmat method) preserves direct primary aromatics while building fine effervescence. A generous dosage provides the residual sweetness necessary to maintain aromatic presence and textural balance as melting ice dilutes the pour, yielding an aromatic profile rich in ripe orchard fruit and white florals.

Originating from the picturesque terroir of Crançot near the limestone plateaus of the Jura foothills, the estate capitalizes on the cool continental climate that yields grapes with crisp natural acidity and delicate aromatic profiles. Applying disciplined secondary fermentation techniques and meticulous blending, the house crafts an expressive portfolio that spans classic dry expressions to playful, trend-setting creations. Brut Dargent is particularly celebrated for its lively Blanc de Blancs and accessible lifestyle cuvées, most notably the Chardonnay Ice Demi-Sec designed to be served over ice.
