Description
What type of wine it is
Cremant de Bourgogne Brut by Francois Martenot is an elegant sparkling wine from Burgundy. It is created from a purposeful blend in which Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Aligoté and Gamay stand out. Crafted with precision according to the Traditional Method, it exhibits a bright straw-yellow colour, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers clear notes of green apple, lemon and white flowers. On the palate, it is dry, smooth and lively, driven by a refreshing acidic tension that ensures a crisp and clean finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes intended for this sparkling wine come from the Crémant de Bourgogne territory and are carefully selected by François Martenot. The production area encompasses the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and southern Burgundy, ensuring a precious pedological variety. The limestone and marly soils of the north give structure to the wine, while the granitic hills of the south provide clear mineral nuances. The result of this combination is a sip endowed with a harmonious balance and a vibrant gustatory energy.
How it is produced
The vinification begins with a soft pressing of the grapes to extract pure musts and preserve their original fragrances. Primary fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, keeping the fruit's vitality intact. After blending, the base wines undergo re-fermentation in the bottle, a distinctive step of the Traditional Method that defines the distinct Brut profile. Ideally served between 6 and 10 °C, it pairs beautifully with shellfish, poultry dishes and fruit desserts.
History and Trivia
Founded in Beaune in the 19th century, Maison François Martenot expresses the most authentic Burgundian tradition through this refined sparkling wine. The grapes come from a complex mosaic of limestone, marly and granitic soils, which give the wine a unique identity. After gentle pressing, the must ferments in stainless steel at 18 °C. Excellence is achieved thanks to re-fermentation in the bottle, the noble traditional method which guarantees a magnificent evolution in the cellar for up to ten years.
