Pale yellow colour with golden hints. Pleasant nose, with some white fruits and vine peaches aromas. Its fine bubbles will enchant you.
With Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay planted on chalky clay soils, Jean François has the perfect ingredients for making sparkling wine. His J’ose Les Fines Bulles or “Josephine Bubbles” is primarily Chenin (about 80%) with the remainder Chardonnay. It is aged sur latte for 24 months before disgorgement, followed by an additional 12 months in bottle.

About the Producer
It sometimes seems like Jean–François Mérieau’s mind goes faster than his hands. Although he already produces some of the most respected and sought-after wines of the Touraine, he’s not satisfied and is currently looking for new ways to express the old vines and rich landscape that is the Domaine Jean-François Mérieau. Based in the tiny village of Saint-Julien-de-Chédon (which doesn’t seem much changed since the 17th century), Jean–François’ property stretches to almost 35 hectares planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir, Cot, Pineau d’Aunis, Gamay, and Chardonnay.
