ALCOHOL FREE RANGE
LE GRAND NOIR ALCOHOL FREE GRENACHE BLANC – CHARDONNAY
ALCOHOL FREE WHITE
This was far from simple and required a lot of time, effort and experimentation. After choosing to liberate the wine from its alcohol using highly sophisticated spinning cone, vacuum distillation equipment, we experimented with a wide range of wines and grape varieties from the Celliers Jean d’Alibert / Le Grand Noir vineyards. We knew that, to make a good zero-alcohol Le Grand Noir, we had to start with a really well-balanced wine. We then added a tiny amount of natural fruit flavours, to add the final touch to a dry-tasting beverage like no other.
TASTING NOTES
After much experimentation, we found that the fresh lemony-limey and herbaceous character of the Grenache Blanc partnered perfectly with the melon and pineapple of the Chardonnay and apricot of the Viognier. The result is much drier on the palate than most other wine-based, zero-alcohol drinks, with a much more lingering flavour.
FOOD STYLE
Good with a range of dishes but very attractive to drink by itself.

LE GRAND NOIR ALCOHOL FREE GRENACHE – PINOT NOIR
ALCOHOL FREE RED
This was far from simple and required a lot of time, effort and experimentation. After choosing to liberate the wine from its alcohol using highly sophisticated spinning cone, vacuum distillation equipment, we experimented with a wide range of wines and grape varieties from the Celliers Jean d’Alibert / Le Grand Noir vineyards. We knew that, to make a good zero alcohol Le Grand Noir, we had to start with a really well-balanced wine. We then added a tiny amount of natural fruit flavours, to add the final touch to a dry-tasting beverage like no other.
TASTING NOTES
After much experimentation, we found that the strawberry and pepper character of the Grenache was the ideal partner for the raspberry and cherry of the Pinot Noir. There is just a hint of oak and a softer texture and more lingering summer-fruit flavour than are to be found in many wine-based, zero alcohol drinks.
