The freshness and precision of a non-alcoholic Blanc de Blancs

The estate

French Bloom was born in 2019 from the friendship between Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger and Constance Jablonski, two women determined to create a festive non-alcoholic drink. They founded the brand to offer an organic-certified non-alcoholic sparkling wine. The name "French Bloom" reflects both French heritage and innovation. The brand’s development was supported by wine-industry experts, establishing French Bloom as a benchmark in non-alcoholic sparkling wine.

The vineyard

This Cuvée Vintage Blanc de Blancs 2023 is made from old Chardonnay vines from the higher reaches of the Limoux Valley. Farmed organically, these vineyards benefit from an exceptional terroir, with optimal exposure and varied soils that contribute to the aromatic richness of the wines produced. Harvesting takes place two weeks earlier than usual to preserve the freshness and acidity of the grapes.

The vintage

In 2023, the year was marked by a particularly dry winter and spring, leading to a significant rainfall deficit. These conditions were offset by welcome rainy spells in May and June. The harvest revealed expressive, delicate, high-quality juices.

Winemaking and aging

Aged in oak barrels for 8 months.

Grape variety

Chardonnay (100%).
