Tasting Notes: 

Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Rosé is produced with Pinot Noir and small percentages of Chardonnay and Gamay, vinified separately in small lots before assemblage and 15 months of aging sur lee. Only three percent of still red wine is blended in to achieve a pale pink color.

Tasting Notes: A beautiful pale pink robe, a delicate nose of white flowers and red fruits, a precise and intense mouth. Dominating the blend, the Pinot Noir brings elegance and power, while the freshness of Chardonnay and the delicacy of Gamay complete the balance of this cuvée.

Cremant Wines: 

Cremant is a traditional method sparkling wine from different regions of France. Basically it's made using the exact same method as Champagne, but it’s not from Champagne so you can’t call it that. Plus, these different regions are known for growing different grapes so instead of the standard 3 grapes from Champagne - Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay - cremant can be made from any number of different grapes.

Burgundy, France:

Burgundy is located in eastern central France and generally has a continental climate so cold winters and warm summers. Of all of the wine regions in the world that are famous for producing red wines, Burgundy is the coolest and most norther. There are really only 2 grapes produced in Burgundy, Red Burgundy or Bourgogne Rouge is Pinot Noir and White Burgundy or Bourgogne Blanc is Chardonnay. There are a few other grape varieties grown here but they typically play much smaller roles.

Food & Wine Pairing: 

This wine is clean, fruity and balanced which makes it a perfect partner food food. Pairs well with anything from seafood to chicken and waffles. The bubbles and the acidity can pair with lighter dishes or help cut through some of the richness of fried foods or salty snacks.
