Albert Bichot Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Réserve (NV)

Fine, even bubbles. The nose, redolent of citrus fruit (lime, pink grapefruit) and white flowers, precedes a well-defined palate that is fresh, vivacious and full bodied, boasting precision and lovely length.

For the vinification, 15% of this blend is from reserve wines, which are previous vintages. 90% of the must ages in stainless steel tanks and then spends 10% of the cuvée ages for 6 months in barrels.

Food Pairing: Taste this crémant as an aperitif, or with finely prepared fish and seafood

From the Bichot estate. "Our Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Réserve is crafted from grapes grown in northern and southern Burgundy (the Châtillonnais, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais). The variety of the grape varieties used and where they are sourced from results in balance between Chardonnay's tautness, white flower aromas and minerality and Pinot Noir's fruit, density and vinosity).

This cuvée derives its originality from expertise that combines the vinous quality of the base wines with the tautness of moderate/restrained dosage that is unusual for a Brut."
