Étoile, meaning star, is the cuvée that shows those methods at their most ambitious, and it makes a superb alternative to Champagne for any celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditional-method sparkling wine is made the same way as Champagne: a still base wine is bottled with a little yeast and sugar, and the second fermentation in the bottle creates fine, persistent bubbles. Time resting on the spent yeast, the lees, adds the toasty, brioche-like notes that set these wines apart from tank-fermented styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine Chandon, Napa Valley, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional method sparkling, non-vintage Brut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Los Carneros plus library base wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 5 years on the lees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe well chilled, at about 45 to 48°F, in a tulip glass.
