Le Domaine by JC Le Roux

Le Domaine

Le Domaine expresses all the finesse and crispness of Sauvignon Blanc, intertwined with the gentle sweetness of the Muscadel. Refreshing and youthful, this fun sparkling wine offers an abundance of fresh fruit and a lingering, clean finish. 

This is a delightful sparkling wine that comes alive on the palate. It has all the finesse and freshness of a Sauvignon Blanc intertwined with the gentle sweetness of the Muscadel while keeping its crisp youthfulness intact. Low in alcohol, with mouth-filling sweetness and a clean finish, it is truly a sparkling wine to enliven any occasion.

This sparkling wine is made predominantly of Sauvignon Blanc grapes (80%) blended with White Muscadel (20%). The grapes were harvested by hand at 21.5° – 22.5° Balling and placed in small baskets to prevent bruising. In the cellar, the juice of the two grape varieties was kept separate and skin contact allowed for just two hours. Fermentation was stopped by lowering the temperature to 0°C when the alcohol level of 7.5 vol % had been reached leaving 75 g/l of natural grape sugar in the wine. The sparkle was created by infusing the base wine with CO2.

J.C. Le Roux’s Core Range consists of easy-drinking, diverse and tantalizing bubbly variants to suit every palate – from sweet to dry. The grapes are carefully selected to offer a unique and intriguing taste profile – from Sauvignon Blanc, through to more unconventional sparkling variants like Pinotage and Muscadel, offering vibrant bursts of flavours and sweetness.

The grapes were sourced from various established vineyards in the Western Cape region planted at altitudes ranging from 50 to 300 metres above sea level. The grapes are selected from different vineyard sites to provide the diverse building blocks needed for the unique flavours, aromas and complexity of the
carefully blended base wine.

This is a great indulgence for zesty Thai chicken curry and the perfect partner for a traditional brandy pudding
