Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Blanc de Noirs shows a pale gold color with subtle copper highlights and a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and inviting, with notes of ripe orchard fruits—think baked apple and pear—wrapped in hints of red berries, toasted brioche, almond and a gentle mineral lift. On the palate, it is dry and brisk, with a lively mousse and well-defined structure from the dark-skinned grapes. Flavors of yellow plum, apple, and delicate raspberry are layered with nuances of pastry, hazelnut and chalky minerality. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a pleasing tension between fruit and acidity. Enjoy it now for its vibrancy and freshness; while non-vintage Crémant is generally intended for earlier drinking, a couple of years of cellaring can bring out more biscuity, autolytic complexity.

Production
Sourced from selected vineyard sites in Burgundy, this Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Noirs Brut is typically made from classic Burgundian black varieties such as Pinot Noir (often with a touch of other authorized dark grapes), grown on limestone-rich soils that contribute tension and elegance. Grapes are harvested relatively early to preserve freshness and natural acidity, then gently pressed to obtain clear juice despite the dark skins. The base wines are vinified at cool temperatures in stainless steel to highlight purity of fruit, after which they are blended, bottled and undergo secondary fermentation in bottle following the traditional method. Extended lees aging adds texture, fine bubbles and subtle brioche notes before disgorgement and a carefully judged brut dosage.

Food & Serving
This Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Noirs Brut is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with canapés, oysters, sushi, smoked salmon, fried chicken, charcuterie, and soft cheeses like Brie or Chaource. It also complements roast poultry, creamy risottos and delicate pork dishes. Serve well-chilled at around 6–8°C (43–46°F) to highlight its freshness and fine mousse. A brief 10–15 minutes in the glass or an open bottle is usually enough; full decanting is not necessary, but pouring into proper sparkling wine flutes or tulip-shaped glasses will best showcase its aromas.
