ABOUT THIS WINE
Café de Paris Brut is a French sparkling wine from Cordier, established in 1967. It is produced in the Bordeaux region, in Cubzac-les-Ponts. The wine is notable for being one of the few allowed to carry the name 'Paris' on its label, a distinction earned due to its historical establishment predating certain appellation regulations. Its creation was inspired by the convivial spirit of Parisian cafés. Cordier, the producer, is a large French wine company now part of the Cordier by InVivo Group, which focuses on sustainable winemaking practices.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Café de Paris Brut is produced using the Charmat Method, also known as the Tank Method. This involves a secondary fermentation that occurs in large, pressurized tanks, which is instrumental in developing the wine's characteristic bubbles and preserving its fresh aromas. The wine is then aged in these tanks to allow the effervescence to integrate and mature. It is a blend of six white grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Sémillon, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Colombard. The producer, Cordier, is part of the Cordier by InVivo Group, which highlights a commitment to sustainable and responsible winemaking practices, including initiatives like the 'Terra 360' project. The brand also utilizes an iconic, certified reusable bottle as part of its approach.
