The Facts

Origins France > Burgundy

Varietal Chardonnay

Cepage 100% Champagne & Sparkling - Vintage

Winemaking The juice is extracted using a pneumatic press. We keep only the first presses, called “Coeur de Cuvée”. 150 kg of pressed grapes will give 75 liters of base wine. The musts are then moved to stainless steel vats for the natural cold settling (during 24h). One part of the base wine is vinified in oak barrels while the other part is vinified in vats. Once the fermentations ended, the wines are blended and bottled so that the bottle fermentation happens in our vaulted stone cellars, where the temperature remains between 12 and 15°C during many months. The particularity of this Cuvée is that the foam creation resulting from the bottle fermentation is carried out according to a specific method of the wine house, instead of the traditional method, which gives personal organoleptic characteristics to the wine. The bottles are then ridden and disgorged before adding grape sugar called “liqueur d’édition” (brut). After the labeling and final closure of the bottle using a cork and a metal cap, the sparkling wine should ideally be tasted 6 months after the disgorging date written on the back label.

The Character

Tasting Notes Its nose reveals complex and fine aromas: they remind white-fleshed fruits (pear) but also more exotic notes (vanilla, apricot kernels). There is a great strength in the mouth, and a freshness slightly surrounded by a good touch of oak. The finish is long with great vigor.

The Story

This Crémant de Bourgogne is made with grapes coming from the Côte Chalonnaise, Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits and from Chardonnay and Aligote grape varieties (average yield = 60 hl/ha). The grapes are strictly hand-picked and transported in small perforated cases to keep the whole berries intact, to avoid all risks of oxidation and allow the separation of the juices.
