Description
What kind of wine it is
Calvet Cremant de Bordeaux Extra Brut is a refined sparkling wine produced using the Traditional Method, characterised by an extremely dry and vibrant flavour profile. In the glass, it displays a straw yellow hue with greenish highlights, enlivened by a very fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers aromas of lemon sorbet, green apple and white currant, accompanied by fragrant notes of brioche and subtle toasted nuances. The palate reveals a delicately creamy structure in perfect balance with pronounced minerality, finishing with a long, chalky aftertaste.
Where it comes from
This sparkling expression originates from the Bordeaux region in France. The unique composition of the soils imparts a distinctive mineral character to this Cremant de Bordeaux. The influence of the clay-limestone terroir is directly reflected in the freshness on the palate and the aromatic precision of the fruit. The signature is that of Calvet, a historic winery renowned for its rigorous interpretation of the characteristics of this famous wine region, delivering a wine of great clarity and territorial balance.
How it is produced
The vinification is based on a harmonious blend of Merlot and Semillon grapes. The strict ageing on the lees enriches the wine, imparting olfactory complexity and a tactile softness that balances the dry style of the Extra Brut dosage. At the table, its pronounced palate-cleansing quality makes it ideal as an elegant aperitif. It finds its highest calling when paired with raw seafood, oysters and sushi, and also masterfully enhances the natural savouriness of goat's cheeses thanks to its dynamic and incisive profile.
