Caveau des Byards - 'Brut' - Crémant du Jura - Jura, FR - NV

Notes from the Winery/Importer

Caveau des Byards—nestled in the heart of France’s Jura region—crafts this elegant Crémant du Jura Blanc Brut exclusively from Chardonnay. A meticulous production process ensures a sparkling wine of exceptional finesse, freshness, and balance.

FARMING: Practicing sustainable viticulture, the estate hand-harvests its grapes to preserve their integrity and expression.

VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay

TERROIR: Vines are planted on south- to southwest-facing slopes, benefiting from optimal sun exposure that enhances ripeness and flavor concentration.

VINIFICATION: Grapes undergo gentle fractional pressing to extract only the finest juice. A slow, low-temperature secondary fermentation yields delicate, persistent bubbles. The wine is then aged on laths for 12 to 18 months to build aromatic complexity.

AGING: Aged on lees for 12 to 18 months, adding richness and depth to the finished wine.

TASTING NOTES: This Crémant displays fine, persistent bubbles and a vibrant, refreshing palate—elegant enough for celebrations, yet easygoing enough for any day of the week.

FOOD PAIRINGS: Serve well-chilled as an apéritif, with fruit-based desserts, or simply enjoy it with friends at any time of day.
