Crémant de Bourgogne

Crémant de Bourgogne are the white or rosé sparkling wines produced in Burgundy, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as the principal grape varieties, but the blends can also include Gamay, Aligoté, Melon, and Sacy.

The wines are produced with a traditional method (méthode traditionnelle) in which the second fermentation must take place in the bottle. Depending on the grape structure, the wines come in several versions. Floral and citrusy blanc pairs well with poultry, while the Chardonnay-based blanc de blancs is a perfect accompaniment to fish and shellfish.

The well-structured blanc de noirs is characterized by the notes of small fruit, and it works well with poultry or snails, while the fruity and floral rosé can be a good match with fruit-based desserts. All varieties are suitable to be enjoyed as an aperitif.
