Luc Belaire Luxe

Luc Belaire Luxe is a 750mL French sparkling wine bottled at 12.5% ABV, produced in Burgundy as a blanc de blancs from 100% hand-selected Chardonnay. Its liqueur de dosage is made from Chardonnay grown around Chablis and aged for six months in Burgundy oak casks, and at 40 g/L of residual sugar the style is rich and demi-sec — subtle sweetness balanced by freshness — presented in Belaire's snow-white bottle with gold silkscreen and foil. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Burgundy's Blanc de Blancs in White and Gold

Luxe is the flagship white of the Belaire house — a maison with origins in 1898, worked by fifth- and sixth-generation father-and-son winemakers at Montagny-les-Beaune — and it is unapologetically luxurious about it: all Chardonnay, a dosage wine drawn from Chablis country and rested half a year in Burgundy oak, and a bottle painted snow-white with gold lettering. The oak-aged dosage is the quiet signature, lending the brioche hint and the length behind the fruit. Browse the range on the Luc Belaire vendor page and in our sparkling wine collection.

Tasting Notes

Per the brand's notes: grapefruit, peach and apricot with honeysuckle and a hint of brioche; rich yet crisp on the palate, its subtle sweetness balanced by freshness; and fine, persistent bubbles throughout.

How to Enjoy

Serve at about 6°C as an aperitif or digestif — the brand also pours it over ice with fresh fruit — and pair it with desserts, cheese, seafood or grilled meats. More French sparkling wine is across our wine collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Luc Belaire Luxe a Champagne?
No — it is a French sparkling wine from Burgundy, a blanc de blancs made from 100% Chardonnay. Only wine from the Champagne region can be Champagne; Belaire is Burgundy's take on luxury sparkling wine.

What is special about the Luxe dosage?
The liqueur de dosage is Chardonnay from the Chablis area of Burgundy, aged six months in Burgundy oak casks before dosing — it is the dosage wine, not the whole cuvée, that sees the oak.

Is Luc Belaire Luxe dry?
It is rich rather than bone dry: at 40 g/L residual sugar it sits in demi-sec territory, with subtle sweetness balanced by freshness and fine bubbles.
