2023 Champ Divin Brut Zero Jura

A Chardonnay-based Crémant with zero dosage. Made exclusively from early-harvest fruit using only the first-press, free-run juice. The wine displays a crystal-clear, pale gold color with fine, persistent perlage. This non-dosé style relies on the abundance of ripe fruit to balance its natural freshness and minerality, resulting in a wine of great character with creamy effervescence and notable chalky mineral notes.
