The journey behind C began in 2020 with a singular ambition: to create a sparkling cuvée with Champagne-level structure and aging potential, without alcohol. Every detail, from grape sourcing and fermentation to aging and dealcoholization, was carefully reimagined to create a wine that could hold its character long after alcohol removal. Crafted in France’s Grand Est region and dealcoholized using Oddbird’s proprietary low-temperature method, C preserves aroma, texture and balance without additives or artificial flavours.
A fine sparkling cuvée inspired by the traditions of Champagne, crafted in France’s prestigious Grand Est from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier of the rare 2022 vintage. Five years in the making, C is the first blend of its kind ever created, a landmark release in a flourishing category and a transformative step in modern winemaking.
Process:
Crafted from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier sourced in Grand Est, France, the wine was produced using Champagne-inspired methods adapted specifically for dealcoholization. Cool stainless steel fermentation, careful control of acidity, and extensive stability testing ensured the cuvée could retain its balance, freshness, and complexity even after the alcohol was removed.
Tasting Notes:
Expect bright citrus and green apple, delicate red berries and stone fruit, and the silky floral touch of Meunier, all wrapped in fine effervescence and a creamy finish.
Best Enjoyed:
C is released in limited quantities and reserved for moments that deserve something exceptional. Crafted to evolve over time, each bottle reflects years of research, patience, and precision, a modern interpretation of celebration, liberated from alcohol.
Designed to be savoured now or cellared for years to come, C challenges expectations of what dealcoholized wine can become: layered, age-worthy, and deeply expressive. Rare by nature and intentional by design, this is a wine created not to imitate tradition, but to redefine it.
