Crémant de Bordeaux is a French appellation for white and rosé sparkling wines that are made from typical Bordeaux grapes such as Ugni Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, or Merlot. The wines are produced with traditional method (méthode traditionelle) in which the second fermentation takes place in the bottle.
White crémants usually have aromas of hazelnuts, white flowers, citrus, and dried fruits, while rosés tend to display aromas of red berries. These fresh wines make a great aperitif, but they can also match desserts and cheese, while white wines may pair well with seafood.
