Pushing Non-alcoholic Wine Further

French Bloom has always believed that non-alcoholic wine should be judged first as wine, not simply by the absence of alcohol.

That philosophy has shaped the development of the collection over the past five years.

La Cuvée Vintage 2023 marked an important step forward. Made from 100% organic Blanc de Blancs, with the wine aged in oak, it embraces the character of a specific vintage rather than seeking absolute consistency from one year to the next.

La Cuvée Vintage 2023 marked an important step. Rather than pursuing absolute consistency from one year to the next, the cuvée explores the character of a particular vintage and the wines from which it is made. It also reflects a question that is becoming increasingly central to French Bloom’s work: how far can non-alcoholic wine go in expressing vintage, origin and terroir?

For French Bloom, that is where some of the most interesting possibilities now lie.

“What excites me most is that we’re no longer asking whether non-alcoholic wine can be great. We’re asking how far it can go, how much place, vintage and character it can express. That feels like a much more interesting question.”
- Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger, Co Founder French Bloom

Limoux, Vintage and Terroir

French Bloom’s work in Limoux, in the South of France, is central to this next chapter.

With its long history of sparkling wine production and a climate particularly suited to Chardonnay, Limoux offers the Maison the opportunity to work further upstream, from the vineyard through to the creation of increasingly precise wine bases.

Greater involvement in the vineyard and cellar also means greater attention to the character of each harvest.

The objective is not simply to make better non-alcoholic wine. It is to create wines with greater identity, precision and connection to where they come from.

Why the Wine Enthusiast Nomination Matters

The Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Awards recognize the people and companies helping shape the future of the wine and beverage industry.

French Bloom’s nomination for Innovator of the Year is especially meaningful because innovation has been at the heart of the Maison since its creation.

At French Bloom, innovation does not mean turning away from wine tradition. It means taking the knowledge, craftsmanship and rituals of wine and asking how they can evolve.

That approach has led French Bloom from its first organic non-alcoholic sparkling cuvées to increasingly sophisticated wine bases, vintage expression and a deeper focus on terroir.

The Wine Enthusiast nomination recognizes that work, but also something larger: non-alcoholic wine is increasingly becoming part of the broader conversation about the future of wine.

The Future of French Bloom

The next stage for French Bloom is increasingly focused on what happens before the alcohol is removed: in our vineyard, the quality of the grapes, the wine base and the character of each harvest.

The Maison will continue to refine its approach to dealcoholization while exploring how vintage, origin and terroir can be expressed more clearly in wines with 0.0% alcohol.

Limoux will be central to that work.

Five years after French Bloom was created, the possibilities for non-alcoholic wine look very different.

And we intend to keep expanding them.
