We often find Cremant de Bourgogne to not only be the best non-Champagne sparkler but also the closest in both quality and style to true Champagne. Especially when, as with this example, it comes from the area of Chablis – which shares the same chalky soil as Champagne itself.
This is one of the finest Cremant de Bourgognes we’ve had in ages, as its many outstanding reviews attest.
Decanter, in fact, rates it 92 points…above such popular Champagnes as Veuve Clicquot, Pol Roger (including many vintages and even Winston Churchills!) and Louis Roederer!
They say:
Inviting, white floral and softly fruited nose. Delicate but well defined, with green apple, elderflower and peach touches on the palate. Light and elegant style perfect as an aperitif, to catch the nuance and delicacy of flavour – a thirst-quenching, delicious fizz. The easiest-drinking in the producer's large and successful range of 12 crémants.
