CHANDON Blanc Demi-Sec wine is a lush, refreshing semi-dry white sparkling wine.
An exuberant ripe blend of night-harvested Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier from Northern California vineyards, this is soft, creamy and exotically fruity, with a crisp edge and a slightly sweet, yet balanced flavor profile.
Bright tropical, grapefruit and floral notes mean this is the best wine to drink with curry, spicy Jamaican jerk chicken or pad Thai.

MÉTHODE TRADITIONNELLE
Grapes are harvested at night to keep the fruit cool and preserve freshness. Harvest begins in early August to retain acidity and capture Chandon’s signature vibrancy.
State-of-the-art presses lower pressing times, limiting the juice’s contact with the grape skins to avoid bitterness. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.
Assemblage occurs in the winter, at the end of the fermentation process, which involves blending multiple vintages of base wines for a complex, consistent style.
The second fermentation then occurs in the bottle and the ageing process begins, where the wine will spend a minimum of 12 months on the yeast lees.
Bottles are then riddled and disgorged. A small amount of dosage liqueur is added, and a cork seals thebottle. After a minimum of 3 months bottle age the wine is ready!
