Product Launch - UK: Distell's JC Le Roux Le Domaine

DISTELL WELCOMES J.C. LE ROUX LE DOMAINE TO THE UK MARKET

In the run up to the celebratory season, Distell has announced the launch of sparkling white wine, J.C Le Roux Le Domaine into the UK market.  The latest release from Distell has gained a listing in Morrisons and sits alongside the brand’s La Fleurette variant.

Le Domaine comes from South Africa’s first and leading cellar house dedicated entirely to the craft of making sparkling wines.  At 7.5% ABV, Le Domaine is lower in alcohol, made predominantly of Sauvignon Blanc grapes (80%) blended with White Muscadel (20%). 

The cellar master, Elunda Basson, at 30 years old, is one of the youngest and most exciting South African wine makers in the industry.  She describes Le Domaine as having the freshness of a Sauvignon Blanc, yet crisp with a gentle sweetness from the Muscadel.

Sarah Gandy, International Marketing Manager for Distell comments: “With the festive season fast approaching and the recent popularity of lower strength wines, it’s a great time to launch Le Domaine into the UK.  South African wines are a major player in the sparkling market with the category currently in growth.  With consumer choice increasingly shifting from Champagne to sparkling wine, we believe that J.C Le Roux Le Domaine is perfectly positioned to benefit from this trend.¹“

Having secured the listing with Morrisons, Distell will now continue to focus on securing further listings into the other grocery channels.

J.C Le Roux Le Domaine is available in Morrisons stores nationwide, RRP: £8.99.
