- Background
- Sparkling wine from Burgundy. Produced only with the traditional grapes (70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay) used to make true Champagnes. Also, the traditional method for making Champagne is used for this Cremant. It is aged at least 18 months on the lees, which is more than most entry-level Champagnes. In fact, in blind taste tests, people choose this Cremant over many famous Champagnes. It’s like a true Champagne at half the cost!
- Tasting Notes
- Nice pinpoint bubbles. Big creamy mousse, with bright citrus and apple fruit. Clean and refreshing. Terrific value.
