Details
Pop the cork and let the good times roll! This effervescent drop bursts with crunchy green apple, citrus lift and a hint of blossom. Crisp, refreshing and just a touch sweet, the Jean Dorsene brut is pure fun in a glass.
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: Traditionally sparkling wine is served in flutes. But if you ask a sommelier, most will tell you like they like to drink sparkling wine out of a regular glass because it releases more of the aromatics.

Pairing guide
Elegant and refreshing, Jean Dorsene Sparkling Brut shows crisp apple, lemon zest, and a subtle hint of brioche. Pair it with grilled scallops, crab cakes, or light seafood pastas. It’s also a great partner for soft cheeses, roast chicken, or creamy mushroom risotto. For something simple, enjoy it with fried calamari or potato crisps—the bubbles make every bite sing.

Wine region

Southern France, France
Also known as the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region in the south of France is one of the largest wine-producing regions in the world. It is known for producing a wide variety of wines, including reds, whites, rosés, and sparkling wines. The region's Mediterranean climate and varied soil types, such as schist and limestone, impart distinct flavours and aromas to the grapes grown there. The area has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the Roman era, and is known for producing high-volume, high-quality wines. The most famous wines from Southern France are typically blends of indigenous grape varieties like Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, and Mourvèdre. The region is a popular destination for wine tourists, offering tastings, tours, and wine festivals.
