Description
Nordicity at its best
Those who have followed our journey since its early days, will have shared in the progress of this flagship wine.
Le Blanc evolved alongside our growing understanding of our Appalachian highlands’ terroir and now embodies our expertise of winemaking in northern regions. A true representation of the intrinsic characteristics of our blends, Le Blanc is stimulating and vibrantly fruity. The high proportion of frontenac grapes and the limited ageing on lees (of no less than 12 months), makes its pleasant acidity more pronounced than our in our other traditional method wines.
Québec wines are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their growing availability. It was important to us to make sure all could enjoy our wines by offering a special vintage at an affordable price. That is mainly why a selection of Bergeville vintages have been on the SAQ shelves since 2017. To align our offerings to the sparkling wines of the region, we first proposed a classic vintage with slightly higher dosage but still true to the Bergeville approach. In 2021, we followed our hearts (and our expertise) and lowered the dosage to 4 g/L. Le Blanc then proudly became the official sparkling wine of the 100th birthday of the SAQ, under the pseudonym L’Effervescent. This truly confirmed its preminence for gatherings and celebrations.
Le Blanc is our homage to nordicity and the quintessential sparkling wine for all celebrations.
