Elysée Brut is a French sparkling wine made from 100% Ugni Blanc, the white grape better known as the base of Cognac. The bubbles come from a second natural fermentation in cuve close, the Charmat method, which is done in tank rather than in bottle and keeps the fruit fresh and forward.
The nose is fresh and fruity, the palate gives green apple and pear with a subtle yeasty note behind, and it closes with a crisp, lemony finish. At 10.5% ABV it is lighter than most sparkling wine, which is part of why it drinks so easily.
This is the bottle for the moment a party starts. Serve it properly cold, around 6 to 8C, on its own as an aperitif or with canapes, fried chicken, salted nuts and anything crisp. It also makes a very good mimosa without wasting anything precious.
