Crémant de Bourgogne

Productomschrijving

Grapes specially selected and vinified, are harvested earlier than those for still wine in order to preserve the acidity which gives Crémant de Bourgogne its freshness. The bottles, positioned in riddling racks to tilt downwards, are turned regularly so the fermentation deposit accumulates in the neck. Corking, the final step, takes place after disgorgement (removal of deposit and impurities) and the addition of dosage liqueur for the desired level of sweetness. This Crémant de Bourgogne, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, is harmonious, fresh and low dosage.

Proefnotities

Appealing in its light yellow colour, slightly coppery with pretty golden highlights, this Crémant de Bourgogne is limpid, brilliant and releases lovely pearl-like bubbles which become finer, more delicate and take on the appearance of lace. The nose is very expressive and multi-layered, revealing elegant notes of fresh yellow fruit including apricot and grapefruit. The attack is fresh and lively, and the bubbles are very present on mouth entry. As it recedes, it gives way to saline and mineral notes. Then round and subtle notes of orange blossom and ripe fruit envelop the mouth.
