MCC, Méthode Cap Classique, indicates that it has gained its sparkle through the so-called traditional method. This means that first a regular dry wine is made, which is then bottled with some yeast and sugar. The wine begins to ferment again inside the bottle, producing carbon dioxide. Because the bottle is sealed, the bubbles cannot escape, resulting in a sparkling wine. When this second fermentation proceeds gently, fine, small bubbles are formed, as in this Krone Vintage Brut Cuvée. It tastes fresh with the fruity aromas of apple, pear, and citrus fruits. It is a sparkling celebration wine, but also nice for lunch.
