Presentation
Presentation
Want something a little lighter to drink over the summer without compromising on taste and without going completely ‘dry’? Partly in defiance to the recent norms and partly out of respect for the old ways, Vincent & François seek to return to the origins of winemaking and to offer more approachable and balanced wines that are alcohol free.
Terroir
The fruit for this wine was carefully selected from early ripening Grenache Noir vineyard sites that express ripe flavors at lower sugar levels.
Winemaking
Once the base wine dealcoholized by reverse osmosis and ready to be made into sparkling, it is transferred into Charmat tanks the sensors on the tank measure the progress of pressure build up in the tank. Once the wine has reached its target pressure the wine is chilled down to stabilize it and left to settle prior to isobaric bottling.

Advice
Serving
This sparkling wine is especially created to be served chilled on ice in a tall glass. The wine is rich and aromatic enough and has the perfect residual sugar level to be enjoyed to the fullest when drinking on ice.
Tasting
Noughty alcohol-free Baron de Chanteclerc has been dealcoholised to retain the rich flavor of this delicate, very pale pink sparkling made in the Charmat Method (the same as Prosecco). Packed with strawberries and raspberries notes alongside zesty lemon and lime with a sweet twist thanks to a crisp acidity and a satisfyingly long finish. A great aperitif wine.
Food pairings
From frittata to fruit tarts, citrusy salads to spicy BBQ, Chanteclerc can better your brunch, offer a refreshing aperitif and claim its place at the table from breakfast to dessert.
