La Chanson by JC Le Roux

La Chanson

Lively, ruby-red sparkling wine which reveals a delightful mélange of sweet, fruity flavours suggesting hints of strawberry and plum. Low in alcohol, this is truly a sparkling wine to add exuberance to any occasion

This sparkling wine is made predominantly of 25% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% White Muscadel, 25% Shiraz and
20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Pinotage. The grapes were harvested by hand at 20° – 24° Balling and placed in small baskets to prevent bruising. The colour was extracted from the skins during the first 24 hours in the cellar. 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 mouthful of sweetness is a perfect partner for mains or dessert. Try it with beef and butterbean curry or lemon cheesecake with blueberry coulis.

A lively, ruby-red sparkling wine with a delightfully sweet palate of strawberries and plums. This exceptional sparkling wine will add exuberance to any occasion.
