JP Chenet

The parent company, Les Grands Chais de France, is one of the largest wine producers in the country, drawing fruit primarily from the Languedoc region under IGP Pays d'Oc designations. Scale is central to J.P. Chenet's identity. This is wine made for broad appeal at accessible prices, not a boutique operation chasing scores in specialist press.

The alcohol-free range, sold under the So Free name, sits alongside the mainstream portfolio rather than being treated as an afterthought. Dealcoholisation is carried out using vacuum distillation in a rotating cone column, a gentler method that removes alcohol without applying direct heat or adding chemicals. The range covers the main bases: a Cabernet Syrah red, a Chardonnay white, a Grenache Cinsault rosé, a sparkling Chardonnay, and a sparkling rosé. The ICE Edition Sparkling extends into more party-ready territory.

In the UK, J.P. Chenet So Free wines are among the most widely stocked dealcoholised options in mainstream supermarkets, sitting at a price point that makes them a genuinely accessible entry into the category. These are volume wines, and the alcohol-free versions reflect that: drinkable, familiar, uncomplicated. Not where you go looking for complexity, but a reliable shelf presence that has introduced a lot of people to dealcoholised wine simply by being there.
