Sommelier Mousseux 'The Freestyle Edition' NV

Sommelier Mousseux 'The Freestyle Edition' NV Prestigious, French, clear, sparkling wine. Beautiful elegance, personally chosen by our Sommeliers. Made from Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir according to the Charmat Method , also called the 'Cuve Close' method, invented by the Frenchman Eugène Charmat in 1910 and involves a second fermentation of the wine that does not take place in the bottle but in the (stainless steel) barrel. Sugar and yeast are added to this tank. During this second fermentation, carbon dioxide is created that cannot escape and dissolves in the wine. Before bottling, liqueur d'expédition is added. This is a mixture of cane sugar, white wine and possibly esprit de cognac. With this method, high-quality sparkling wines can be made relatively cheaply. Once the second fermentation is complete, the sparkling wine is bottled under pressure. At no time is there any contact with the outside air.

Story behind the label: ' Freestyle Edition' ; three grape varieties have contributed to this special Sommelier Selected Cuvée, especially Riesling as the odd one out. The Riesling gives the wine a subtle residual sweetness, which is very pleasant and refreshing, both in mouthfeel and aftertaste.
