🥂 Le Chardonnay – Sparkling Grape Juice by Alain Milliat

A magnificent “Blanc de Blancs” – alcohol-free and distinctive

The Le Chardonnay Pétillant is Alain Milliat’s masterful answer to the search for a festive, alcohol-free experience at Grand Cru level. This single-variety grape juice is made from Chardonnay grapes grown on the sun-drenched Coste Blanche plot – a limestone-rich hillside in southern France. To ensure perfect freshness, the cuvée is enhanced with 10% verjus, giving the drink its lively, wine-like structure.

✨ Sensory Experience and Profile

• Appearance: An intense golden color with subtle, shimmering highlights.
• Aromatics: The nose reveals an intense bouquet reminiscent of roasted mirabelle plums and the spicy aroma of heather honey.
• Taste: On the palate, it offers a fascinating balance: a delicate, natural sweetness meets lively acidity and a sparkling texture, making the Chardonnay vibrant and elegant.

🍴 Culinary Pairings

This sparkling Chardonnay is far more than a juice – it is a first-class food companion. It shines as an elegant aperitif but also pairs wonderfully with lightly seared scallops or delicate fish dishes. It also sets new standards as a base for premium alcohol-free cocktails.
