ABOUT THIS WINE
Domaine de Montbourgeau Crémant du Jura Brut Zéro is a sparkling white wine from the Jura region of France, produced by the Famille Deriaux. This non-vintage wine is made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the estate's vineyards in L'Etoile, an area characterized by clay-limestone soils rich in marine fossils. The 'Brut Zéro' designation indicates a dry style with no added sugar after disgorgement. The wine is produced using the traditional method, with aging on lees for at least 12 to 18 months. The Famille Deriaux, now in its fourth generation, upholds a purist winemaking philosophy that respects Jura's traditions and the unique terroir of L'Etoile.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine de Montbourgeau Crémant du Jura Brut Zéro is crafted using the traditional method, identical to that used for Champagne. 100% Chardonnay grapes are whole-bunch pressed pneumatically. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then undergoes secondary fermentation and aging in the bottle on its lees for 12 to 18 months. The estate practices organic viticulture, with a focus on respecting the land through practices like cover cropping. The 'Brut Zéro' style means no dosage (added sugar) is applied after disgorgement.
