JEAN-LOUIS DENOIS Méthode Traditionelle Chardonnay-Pinot Noir Brut

JEAN-LOUIS DENOIS Méthode Traditionelle Chardonnay-Pinot Noir Brut

Grapes: Pinot Noir  Chardonnay  Origin: France, 
Lea & Sandeman review
Jean-Louis Denois’ sparkling wine from near Limoux, from vineyards planted with Champagne grape varieties. Pinot Noir for body, and floral fruity distinction from Chardonnay. A 'great copy of Champagne' and 'amazing value'. JUBILEE OFFER: Case price reduced from £12.95.

Other reviews and comments
From Limoux. Pale golden straw. Beautifully made and balanced – just a little fruitier, more opulent and less autolytic than the best champagnes but infinitely better than cheap champagne. GV October 2011   16.5

A 50/50 Chardonnay-Pinot Noir blend. Tiny bubbles, bready Pinot-dominated nose, broad fruit with soft maturity and elegance, beautifully made, naturally balanced low 6g/l dosage. Very satisfying. Decanter March 2011
Steven Spurrier
Denois is a Champenois by birth, but makes sparkling wines from his base in Roquetaillade, in the Aude department of the Languedoc...this wine is a competent alternative to Champagne, with 50% each of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Michael Broadbent MW
Here is a magnificent wine of a quality rarely attained by French sparkling wine... The wine is fleshy with a rich and vinous body, a nose both powerful and elegant of fruit and brioche, fine and persistent bubbles, a balanced fresh palate with a beautiful finish: Un vin gourmand!
La Revue du Vin de France
With its warm bread-and-honey nose this smells so much like champagne I had to double-check the label to confirm it’s actually made near Limoux. To taste, you might say a touch of rusticity gives away its origin, but I love the generous flavour of red apple, and would buy this by the crate if I were getting married or throwing a party. Amazing value.
Victoria Moore, The Daily Telegraph
Great value copy of champagne (half and half Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) from the hills around Limoux in the far south west of France. Denois is a maverick but a conscientious winemaker. This highly individual wine is ready to drink, attractively dry and has quite positive fruit.
