Effervescent elegance in a glass – our beautifully balanced Cap Classique, the winner of multiple trophies and awards through the years.

Sometimes, a celebration is just for two – you and the bottle – for all other special occasions, sharing is essential as long as the Cap Classique is ice cold and the company invaluable.

Bright straw yellow in colour, with extremely fine streams of bubbles that carry wafts of biscuity richness to the nose, nuanced by fresh citrus aromas with hints of grapefruit peel, before the palate is filled with a delightfully vigorous ‘mousse’ – the explosion of bubbles that gives way to fresh lemon and lime flavours balanced by a lemon-cream richness that ends long and flavourful, with a mineral green apple crispness.

Enjoy with: Oysters, Eggs Benedict, Chocolate Mousse

Tasting Notes: Lime, Lemon, Mineral

  • Tasting Notes

    Lime blossom aromas with fresh citrus, green apple vibrance and richer notes of toasted bread and brioche from long maturation. Lively bubbles carry flavours of vivacious – and typical – citrus zest set against a creamy backdrop of minerality, a faint sheen of wood, roasted nuts and broad, mature notes of bread and toast.

  • Food Complements

    The intense freshness and elegance of this wine pairs beautifully with delicate seafood dishes such as pan fried scallops, oysters or line fish “au beurre blanc”. This wine also complements the flavours of parmesan, asparagus, artichokes and Parma ham.

  • Vintage

    During 2021, a late winter and spring lead to a late harvest season in 2022 with 3 small compact heat waves in January. Above average crop, quality and quantity wise.
