Crémant de Bourgogne "Blanc de Blancs" (Crémant)

Origine

From slopes located in Les Vignerons de Mancey members’ vineyards. Chardonnay, the main grape variety, brings finesse and elegance. It is further enhanced by a touch of freshness and vivacity brought by the Aligoté.

Vinification

The grapes, exclusively harvested by hand, are transported to the winery in perforated crates and gently transferred into the press. The very gentle pressing produces delicate musts, free from vegetal aromas. After the first fermentation in vat, a second is created in bottle in order to obtain this special quality of effervescence. The bottles are then left to rest in our cellars for 18-24 months. The deposit caused by the fermentation is collected by a carefully turning the up-ended bottles over a period of time, a process known as "remuage".  The deposits are removed through the “disgorging” process and the bottle is permanently sealed. Our crémants owe their freshness to the frequency of disgorging operations, which we carry out once a month in the run-up to their release for sale. 

Notes de dégustation

The Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs is a lively sparkling wine, very fresh on the nose and very fine and delicate on the palate. Its very delicate, long-lasting mousse makes it particularly elegant.

Mets d'accompagnements

Ideal as an aperitif. It can be served at a cooler temperature than a Pinot Noir-based Crémant de Bourgogne.  This sparkling wine is at its most interesting between the 3rd and 4th year after bottling.
