Another prestige cuvée
Scintilla from The House of J.C. Le Roux
Issued by GC Communications on behalf of J.C. Leroux
This signature Cap
Classique is only produced in exceptional vintages and follows in the footsteps
its award winning predecessor, the 2012 Amorim Méthode Cap Classique Challenge
champion, Scintilla 2003.
Luxuriously smooth and
well-balanced, Scintilla 2008 is made in the classic French tradition in true
champagne style.
Under the watchful eye
of Cellar Master Elunda Basson, secondary fermentation takes place in the
bottle in the dark, temperature controlled cellar, giving rise to the minute,
scintillating bubbles that enliven the palate. Using age-old French traditions,
combined with the latest technology, The House of J.C. Le Roux creates Cap
Classiques for all palates that can compete with the best Champagnes of France.
Scintilla 2008 is a
classic blend of Chardonnay (70%) and Pinot Noir (30%) and spent a minimum of
five years on the lees to develop its complexity and regal character. Created
for the connoisseur in a stylish dark bottle, this graceful flagship evokes an
air of elegance, beauty and sophistication, representing one of life’s finer
pleasures.
“Our outstanding J.C.
Le Roux Scintilla 2008 is made from only the very best grapes of the
vintage. It has a brilliant light straw colour, fresh citrus notes on the
nose and integrated baked bread flavours with an elegant youthful finish that
will benefit from additional bottle maturation,” says Elunda.
J.C. Le Roux Scintilla
2008 is available at boutique wine shops and restaurants, selling for R175 at
the cellar door in Stellenbosch.
