Effervescent elegance in a glass beautifully balanced Cap Classique, the winner of multiple trophies and awards through the years, consistently sells out before the anticipated release of the next vintage.

Sometimes, a celebration is just for two you and the bottle for all other special occasions, sharing is essential as long as the Cap Classique is ice cold and the company invaluable.

Bright straw yellow in colour, with extremely fine streams of bubbles that carry wafts of biscuity richness to the nose, nuanced by fresh citrus aromas with hints of grapefruit peel, before the palate is filled with a delightfully vigorous mousse the explosion of bubbles that gives way to fresh lemon and lime flavours balanced by a lemon-cream richness that ends long and flavourful, with a mineral green apple crispness.

Best enjoyed now, since De Grendel have done the aging for you however, should you wish to keep a few bottles, you can expect the acidity to lower after a few years, resulting in a richer, creamier wine with flavours developing away from citrus and towards pear with increased yeasty aromas.

Tasting Note

Pale lemon colour with an exceptionally fine mousse. Fresh, crisp and crunchy green apple, Asian pears, lemon zest and white guava comes to the fore on the nose. Warm brioche and yeast complexity broaden the palate, leading to a long and elegant finish. Rich, velvety and effortlessly elegant, the De Grendel MCC is truly a stalwart picks among sparkling wine aficionados.

Food Pairing

This Méthode Cap Classique is the ideal drink for all occasions and is the most versatile wine for food pairings. Enjoy it as an aperitif before dinner, with creamy Mascarpone-scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and cream cheese canapés or a warm baked apple tarte tatin.

Good starter

Apple, flowers and very soft and a little bit sweet. A good starter and worth to drink a bottle.

"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "

- Terry Wharton Hood -

Great wine at a great time, everytime
