Crémant de Bourgogne - burgundywine.com

Crémant de Bourgogne is Burgundy’s sparkling wine, crafted in the traditional method used for Champagne. Made primarily from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with possible additions of Aligoté or Gamay, it offers fine bubbles, bright acidity, and a refined texture. The best examples are grown on limestone soils similar to those of Champagne, giving a crisp, mineral backbone. Styles range from fresh and fruity to rich and toasty depending on aging. Brut, rosé, and blanc de blancs versions highlight Burgundy’s versatility. Crémant de Bourgogne delivers exceptional quality and elegance for its price, making it ideal for both celebration and casual enjoyment.

White Wines

White Crémant de Bourgogne is Burgundy’s sparkling expression of craftsmanship and terroir. Produced in the méthode traditionnelle—the same process used in Champagne—it is typically composed of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sometimes with Aligoté or Gamay. The result is a wine of fine, persistent bubbles, crisp acidity, and delicate minerality. Notes of green apple, citrus, and white flowers evolve into hints of brioche and almond with aging on the lees. Unlike Champagne’s vast production, Crémant de Bourgogne is made on a more intimate, artisanal scale, emphasizing purity and balance over power. Lively yet elegant, it is a celebratory wine for everyday enjoyment—refined, versatile, and unmistakably Burgundian in its grace.

Red Wines

Rosé Crémant de Bourgogne captures Burgundy’s joyous side—vivid, aromatic, and refreshingly dry. Crafted mainly from Pinot Noir, with occasional additions of Gamay or Chardonnay, it delivers fine bubbles and lively fruit. Aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry mingle with floral undertones and a subtle touch of pastry from lees aging. The palate is energetic and balanced, combining freshness with creamy texture. This sparkling rosé reflects the same dedication to traditional method production as Champagne, but with a more personal, small-scale touch. Perfect as an aperitif or with light dishes, it expresses both the celebratory spirit and authentic soul of Burgundy’s vineyards—bright, honest, and full of life.
