GRAPE VARIETY
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Aligoté
WINEMAKING
Four Burgundy grape varieties give a perfect balance. Chardonnay (45%) for finesse and elegance, Pinot Noir (35%) for body, Gamay (15%) adds lightness and Aligoté (5%) offers its vivaciousness. Bottled in the January after the harvest and ageing on lees takes place over 12 months. This longer ageing is a key factor in quality and gives a more distinctive maturity.
TASTING NOTE
Showing a nice light yellow colour with golden hints, our Crémant de Bourgogne offers numerous fine bubbles and a soft mousse. Fine and very expressive, this wine shows yellow fruits scents combined with white fruit, toasty notes and complexity. Well-balanced, combining pleasantly freshness, fruitiness and complexity. The finish is full.
