✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir sourced across French vineyards with clay-limestone soils, this sparkling rosé expression is formulated specifically for service over ice. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve primary red berry fruit characteristics, followed by secondary fermentation to develop a persistent mousse. The wine receives an elevated demi-sec dosage, calibrated to maintain aromatic impact, perceived body, and dynamic sweetness even when chilled and diluted by melting ice cubes.
🍾 About the Producer
Brut Dargent is a celebrated French sparkling wine brand vinified at La Maison du Vigneron, situated in Crançot atop the limestone-rich plateau of the Jura region. Established in 1981 as the Compagnie des Grands Vins du Jura and integrated into the family-owned Les Grands Chais de France portfolio in 1986, the estate benefits from expansive viticultural resources and deep technical expertise. Sourcing grapes from cool-climate vineyards shaped by clay-limestone soils, the house crafts sparkling wines primarily via the traditional method, characterized by fine effervescence, bright aromatic purity, and crisp acidity. The house style prioritizes vivacity and accessible elegance, ranging from classically dry Blanc de Blancs expressions to modern celebratory styles. Its signature portfolio features the Chardonnay Ice Demi-Sec and Pinot Noir Ice Demi-Sec, cuvées specifically dosed and structured to be enjoyed over ice, alongside traditional Brut Chardonnay and Rosé bottlings.
