Blanc de blancs brut 75cl X 6
Chardonnay, Ugni blanc, Colombard
A word from Cave de France: Charles de Saint-Céran first seduces with its bright pale yellow color, crossed by fine, persistent bubbles. The elegant and expressive nose reveals refined notes of white flowers and citrus fruits, enhanced by an exotic touch and subtle aromas of white-fleshed fruits, such as apple and pear. On the palate, the effervescence is delicate and the attack frank, giving way to a balanced, fresh and light structure. The harmonious and ethereal finish highlights a controlled dosage of approximately 8 g/L and a moderate alcohol content of 11.5%, guaranteeing great drinkability. This wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif or as a cocktail base, as well as with fish, seafood or white meats. It reveals all its finesse when served between 6 and 8 °C.
The fruit of meticulous expertise, this sparkling wine benefits from controlled low-temperature fermentation, followed by slow effervescence in the cellar and aging on lees with delicate bâtonnage. Gentle filtration and discreet dosage perfect its winemaking, in order to preserve its aromatic expression and natural freshness.
Founded in 1901 in Seyssel, in Ain at the heart of Savoie, Varichon & Clerc embodies one of the oldest and most important houses specializing in sparkling wines produced using the Traditional Method. For over a century, it has strived to produce cuvées that are faithful to their terroir, combining authenticity, elegance and consistent quality.
Recognition came in 1942, with the official recognition of the Seyssel appellation d'origine contrôlée, the first French AOC dedicated to sparkling wines after Champagne. Varichon & Clerc, then one of the main players in this appellation, helped highlight its emblematic grape varieties: Altesse, for its freshness and floral notes evoking alpine nature, Molette, and Jacquère, renowned for its undergrowth aromas.
In 1996, building on its historical roots and recognized expertise, the house joined forces with the Boisset Family, who immediately perceived the singularity and quality of its wines. This alliance allowed Varichon & Clerc's pioneering spirit to be perpetuated, while affirming its status as an ambassador for Savoie's sparkling wines.
