Caves de Seyssel Brut Petit Royale

Before Champagne was pouring at royal courts, the Alpine town of Seyssel was already supplying sparkling wine to kings and queens. This Alpine sparkler is Champagne’s cool, under-the-radar cousin. Made in the traditional method (the same way Champagne is crafted, with a second fermentation in the bottle and extended lees aging), it delivers all that fine-bubble elegance and creamy texture without the Champagne price tag.

Seyssel is one of the oldest sparkling wine regions in France, and here the local grapes, Molette and Altesse, bring mountain-fresh vibes. Expect aromas of white flowers, crisp apple, citrus zest, and a mineral finish that feels like glacier water running over stones.

It’s refined, but not stuffy: think rooftop hangs, Silver Lake picnics, or late-night tacos with friends. Basically, Champagne energy with LA attitude—effortless, stylish, and always ready to sparkle.
