THE CRÉMANTS

La Côte Chalonnaise is therefore the probable birthplace of Crémant de Bourgogne. In 1822, some wine merchants from Chalon-sur-Saône with vineyards in Rully and Mercurey invited a young winemaker from Champagne to their estates. This initiative resulted in the creation of sparkling white wine in Burgundy, and a thriving tradition… Today our winegrowers cultivate vines specifically for Crémant production (mostly Pinot Noir), the harvest being vinified in our wineries and then transformed into sparkling wine at Caves Bailly Lapierre since 1998.

This Crémant combines the characters of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the two giants of Bourgogne viticulture. Together they give a wine that, paradoxically, offers a very polished harmony and precise balance. There is also a fruity character with intense freshness and finesse.

• Appearance: Brilliant, pale gold color. • Nose: Complex, with aromas of biscuit and ripe stone fruit accompanied by notes of white flowers and sweet almonds. • Palate: Very pure and deep, subtly mineral, it develops remarkable length. Balanced and substantial. A festive wine, it also subtly pairs well with refined cuisine.

• Appearance: Rose gold color with slight orange highlights. • Nose: Aromas of rose petals, biscuit, sweet almonds, and cherry pits. • Palate: Airy, tender, and subtle, deliciously fresh, with endless notes of red fruits. A festive wine, it also subtly pairs well with refined cuisine.
