Where it comes from
This wine expresses the authentic character of Burgundy, with particular attention to the Côte Chalonnaise area. Andre Delorme selects grapes from outstanding zones such as Rully, Givry, Mercurey, Bouzeron and Montagny, enhancing the unique qualities of each soil. The delicate vinification stages take place in the historic cellars of Rully, where the winery has been active since 1942. The Crémant de Bourgogne represents an oenological expression of great precision, where the rigorous selection of vineyards gives a defined aromatic profile and a harmonious balance of flavour.
How it is produced
Production faithfully follows the Traditional Method, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle to create the sparkle. The wine undergoes careful ageing on the lees for eighteen months, a crucial step that enriches its structure and gives an extremely fine mousse. The sugar content defines a dry profile, supported by lively acidity that enhances its freshness. To best appreciate this Blanc de Blancs, it is recommended to serve it between six and ten degrees, allowing for a dynamic and highly enjoyable sip.
