Tasting Notes

Pale gold with a fine, persistent mousse and delicate streams of bubbles. The nose offers fresh green apple, lemon zest, and white peach with subtle notes of brioche and almond. On the palate, it is crisp and elegant, with bright acidity, citrus and orchard-fruit flavours, and a hint of toasted pastry. The finish is clean, refreshing, and pleasantly dry with a lingering mineral quality.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Crémant de Bourgogne is a sparkling wine appellation covering the Burgundy region of France. Established in 1990, it designates traditional-method sparkling wines produced across Burgundy's wine-growing territories, extending beyond the strict geographic limits of other Burgundy appellations. The appellation encompasses a significant area, allowing producers throughout the region to craft sparkling wines under this classification.

Production follows the traditional method (méthode champenoise), requiring bottle fermentation and aging on lees for a minimum of nine months. Chardonnay is the primary grape variety used, though Pinot Noir and other Burgundy varieties are also permitted. The region's cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils provide the acidity and mineral character essential for quality sparkling wine production. Crémant producers in Burgundy benefit from the same terroir that defines the region's still wines, adapting those characteristics to the sparkling format.

Crémant de Bourgogne wines typically display fine, persistent bubbles and a pale golden color. The Chardonnay-based expressions show citrus, green apple, and mineral notes with crisp acidity characteristic of the region's cool climate. These sparkling wines offer complexity and freshness at a more accessible price point than Champagne, making them suitable as aperitifs or food-friendly alternatives for casual occasions and celebrations.
