Luc Belaire Luxe 75cl
That white-and-gold bottle is doing a lot of talking before you even pop it, and good news, the wine backs up the swagger. Luc Belaire Luxe is French sparkling done generous. Think apricot and honeysuckle, a little warm-bakery brioche, and a fine stream of bubbles that feels properly grown-up. It's the one you grab when the night needs a bit of an occasion, a birthday, a closed deal, or just a Friday that earned itself. Get it cold and you're halfway to a good story already.
First sniff is all orchard and flowers. Ripe pear, white peach, a hit of apricot, then that pretty honeysuckle lift. Underneath sits a soft brioche, toasty warmth that comes from an oak-aged Chardonnay dosage from Chablis, so it reads richer and creamier than your average fizz. On the palate it's brut, so dry rather than sweet, but there's real roundness and a clean citrus snap on the finish that keeps it fresh. Fine bubbles, nothing aggressive. Easy to love, hard to put down.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Luc Belaire is the brainchild of Sovereign Brands, the same family-run drinks house behind a few big names, and it built its reputation on that unmistakable bottle and a serious global club-and-celebration following. Luxe is the Chardonnay one, a Blanc de Blancs made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in Burgundy, the heartland of great French Chardonnay. What sets it apart is the finishing touch, a dosage made from Chablis Chardonnay aged six months in Burgundy oak casks, which is where that extra richness and toast come from.
