Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A complex blend of various white grapes, mainly Colombard, Ugni Blanc & Chardonnay. This wine is pale gold in color with a hint of green and fine bubbles. Creamy and smooth on the palate, with lingering aromas of freshly baked bread, golden delicious apples, and Meyer lemons. Harmonious!

A great way to start any meal, and it's a fine accompaniment for ceviche, salads, white fish in white sauce or simply for dessert.

    Lovely pear, quince and ginger flavors cruise along, with a racy-edged mousse. A lingering hint of walnut adds range and contrast on the finish. Top Value Pick

    COMMENTARY: The François Montand Blanc de Blancs is a delicious sparkling wine at an excellent price. TASTING NOTES: This wine is fresh, bright, and straightforward. Its charming and lively aromas and flavors of ripe apples and mineral notes should make it a beautiful aperitif bubbly.

For centuries, Méthode Champenoise, also known as Méthode Traditionnelle, has been the gold standard for sparkling wine production. A production style that proves to be much more labor-intensive, but the added quality garnered is well worth the effort. With Méthode Traditionnelle the wine goes through its second fermentation in the bottle adding richness and complexity, due to the time it spends on the lees. This style gave Champagne the reputation for premium quality it heralds to this day. François Montand offers a great tasting sparkling wine, made in the Méthode Traditionnelle, at a value. With an elegant, classic French label, François Montand introduces more people to this winemaking style, showing wine lovers everywhere that a well-made, high quality sparkling wine can be accessible.

Appreciated worldwide as an iconic token of celebration and luxury, sparkling wines from France come in more forms than just Champagne. In order to bear the label, ‘Champagne’, a sparkling wine must originate from the northeastern region of France—called Champagne—and adhere to strict quality standards. Champagne’s chalky, limestone and soils and cold, continental climate create grapes with ample acidity and concentration. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier are permitted for use in Champagne.

French sparkling wines made outside of Champagne take the name Crémant. Crémant de Bourgogne, Alsace, Loire and Limoux are the best known. These are made using the same technique as that of Champagne, called méthode traditionelle, but typically are composed of the regional grape variety. Usually dry to off-dry with bright acidity, these are often characterized by qualities of lemon, peach, marzipan and white flowers.
