With the festive season in full swing, these beautifully crafted Cap Classiques, paired with perfect nougat taste partners, are sure to transform the ordinary into the extra-ordinary for triumphant celebrations.

J.C. Le Roux La Vallée is a firm favourite with bubbly lovers who enjoy a Cap Classique with a lightly off-dry taste, while people with a dryer palate will also enjoy it. Paired with mango macadamia nougat, which harmonises superbly with La Vallée’s creamy, buttery tones and notes of pears and litchi, it is divine.

La Vallée Rosé with its subtle hint of sweetness and lovely salmon hue is an equally enchanting summer Cap Classique and an irresistible match for raspberry nougat.

The complimentary summer nougat offering at The House of J.C. Le Roux, the world-class Cap Classique destination located in the heart of the picturesque Devon Valley in Stellenbosch, is available from December to January, while stocks last. J.C. Le Roux La Vallée sells for R80 per bottle and J.C. Le Roux La Vallée Rosé at R90 per bottle at the cellar door.

Don’t miss out on tasting the full J.C. Le Roux Méthode Cap Classique range this summer at The House of J.C. Le Roux. From the ever so crisp and elegantly dry, to the more palate friendly, one will definitely find one’s own personal favourite.

Every J.C. Le Roux Cap Classique is crafted in the time honoured French tradition whereby the delicate bubbles are created and captured in every bottle during a process of secondary fermentation. South African bubblies made this way are known as Méthode Cap Classique, as only the French version may be called champagne.
