Jules Lebègue Crémant de Bordeaux Brut NV

Key Selling Points

Jules Lebègue is a historic Saint-Émilion négociant founded in 1828, sourcing fruit from the best-exposed terroirs of the Gironde. The Elegance range, marked by its signature ribbon, has been the house's flagship for over 100 years. This cuvée comes from prized clay-limestone terraces overlooking the Dordogne valley — a cool, well-exposed site that lets the soil dry out for optimal vine health — with grapes hand-picked early morning to preserve freshness. Made by the traditional method with a minimum of 9 months on lees, it delivers fine, persistent bubbles and real complexity at an accessible Crémant de Bordeaux price point.

Cuisine Pairing

Delicious as an aperitif on its own; pairs well with fresh oysters and light seafood starters, exotic fruit salads (mango, pineapple, passion fruit), and short-crust pastry desserts such as fruit tarts and galettes. Versatile enough to carry a full meal from starter through dessert.

Cellaring & Serving

Drink now — not intended for extended cellaring; enjoy within 1–2 years of purchase for peak freshness. Serve well chilled at 6–8°C in a flute or tulip glass.
