Details
The Paul Bur sparkling brut is a graceful expression of bubbles, leading the way to aromas of apple, pear and white flowers. Zesty citrus and a subtle mineral edge give this sparkling wine poise and freshness. A charming pour for effortless sophistication.
Origin: The original sparkling wines were made in a place called Limoux in southern France. Mainly Grown In: These days, the whole world sparkles - these styles are made anywhere and everywhere, from a range of grape varieties. Key Facts: Champagne gets all the attention, but there's so much more to the world of sparkling than that. In fact, there are four main methods of production for sparkling wine, each producing slightly different styles and flavours. What is common across all of them however is really focussed, tangy acidity (due mostly to harvesting the grapes early - the acidity is needed to keep the sparkling wine fresh) and an elegant fruit profile. Main flavours often include various citrus fruits, crunchy green apple and hints of honey or biscuit. At the end of the day though, it's about those bubbles and the refreshment factor! Fun Fact: The process of adding sugar and yeast to still wine to create carbon dioxide and make it sparkling is called "secondary fermentation."

Wine region
South of France, France
French wine regions are quite controlling about what grapes they can use, when they can pick their grapes and what must be stated on the bottles. If wineries want to avoid all these tiresome restrictions, they simply use the catch-all term "Vin de France" ; however this mostly applies to the South of France where the main wine regions of Bordeaux, Rhone, Languedoc-Roussillon and the South-West sit. These regions grow it all, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Grenache and Sauvignon Blanc to Viognier so it is a great option to make less serious and restrictive wine and wines with a bit of personality.
