Nicole Hitchcock, head winemaker at classic Sonoma sparkling house J. Vineyards, crafts over 30 wines annually. The Cuveé 20 is their classic blend of the three Champagne grapes across their six estate vineyards in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast. This flagship wine is meant to be fresh, fruit-forward, and to showcase rich texture. Lemon and apple notes give way to toasted nut flavors.
Winemaker's Notes
Our J Cuvée 20 Brut opens with nuanced aromas of toasted almond, followed by notes of Braeburn apple, dried cranberry and ginger snap. A delicate dance of bubbles leads to a soft palate with flavors of lemon meringue pie, as the wine’s creaminess is whisked away by a lively finish.
