A shiny pale gold colour. A fine, lively and generous bubble underlines the festive character of this Crémant.On the nose, aromas of white fruits, and particularly peach and fresh pear, are expressed with great intensity. Notes of hazelnuts appear in the background on lemony nuances.The effervescence on the palate is elegant and not overwhelming. Flavours of white fruits mixed together pleasant sweetness. A contained acidity leaves room for a nice balance.
Côte Chalonnaise is probably the birthplace of Crémant de Bourgogne. Indeed, in 1822 grape growers based in Rully and Mercurey invited a young Champagne winemaker to their estates. Burgundy sparkling wine was born.All over the 19th and 20th centuries, this sparkling production has improved, until the recognition in 1975 of the AOC Crémant de Bourgogne.The soil is made of argilo-calcareous marls.Grape varieties : Mostly Chardonnay and Pinot NoirSoil : clay and limestoneClimate : semi continentalVines : Aged 20 to 35 years, Guyot pruning
The varietals are pressed and fermented separately. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the base wines are aged on fine lees for 6 to 9 months.
