Why You'll Love It
This is full-flavoured, serious sparkling wine at a wonderfully sensible price. Mature orchard fruit, almond and brioche come from extended bottle ageing, while Robertson's natural freshness keeps the palate lively. A fine option for canapés, rich fish or roast chicken.
About The Producer
Jacques Bruére is the traditional-method sparkling-wine range made at Bon Courage, the family-owned estate on the Breede River near Robertson in South Africa. The Bruwer family has farmed here for generations, drawing on limestone-rich soils, warm days and cool nights in the shadow of the Langeberg Mountains. The range takes its name from the family's French Huguenot roots and is devoted to Cap Classique, South Africa's bottle-fermented answer to Champagne. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir provide the structure, while extended bottle ageing on lees adds the rich, toasty and gently savoury flavours that distinguish these wines. The result is sparkling wine of serious ambition and excellent value, with a long maturation period seldom found at this price.
Winemaking Information
A vintage traditional-method Cap Classique from Bon Courage in Robertson. The Brut Réserve range combines Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a proportion of base wine historically fermented in oak; extended ageing on lees adds toasted, nutty depth and a creamy mousse. The catalogue lists 11% ABV for the 2017 vintage and another vintage-matched retailer confirms this figure. Precise 2017 blend percentages and time on lees have not been independently confirmed and are not inferred from earlier vintages.
