Luxe - Today’s Classic Vintage Sparkler. Named for the international unit of illumination, Luxe is the product of diligence, finesse, discipline, patience and extraordinary raw materials. Blended for complexity, flavor and balance, it is a classic Blanc de Blancs vintage sparkling wine crafted in the time-honored méthode champenoise tradition. After primary fermentation in oak barrels, and 9 to 10 months of sur lie aging (aging on residual yeast), only the best lots of this first-press wine are used to blend the base wine. Sur lie aging the bottled wine for 5 years gives it a lovely complexity.
Champagne is a region of France, and only wines which come from this region can properly be called "Champagne". Similar drinks from California, and the rest of the world should be called "sparkling wines". It is produced by inducing the in-bottle secondary fermentation of the wine to effect carbonation. The amount of sugar added after the second fermentation and aging varies and will dictate the sweetness level of the Champagne. Read More...
