Domaine Perraud Crémant de Bourgogne NV

Tasting notes

The lemon gold colour of the wine is topped with a rich foam. The bouquet marries the gentle aromas of white flowers with almonds and brioche bread. On the palate the wine is gutsy and chewy at the same time. This crémant is as fine as an apéritif as it is accompanying cured meats or shellfish.

Pairing

Perfect as an aperitif, this Crémant will perfectly highlight starters based on charcuterie or shellfish.

Viticulture

Our Crémant de Bourgogne comes from grapes fropm a plot composed entirely of Chardonnay grapes (100%). We pick manually and the grapes are placed in small boxes in order to preserve the fruit intact, to avoid oxydisation and to permit juice extraction.

Vinification

The juice is extracted using a pneumatic press – 150 kg of grapes must yield a maxim 100 liters of wine.
The juice is then transferred to stainless steel vats for 24 hours for a cold-induced natural settling. Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are completed, the wines are assembled and then put into sealed bottles with added sugars and yeasts. The bottles will lie flat for a minimum of 18 months at a temperature based between 12 and 15 degrees C in order for the froth to form.

When this is done, the bottles will be turned on their heads and shaken using a gyroscope shaker in order to concentrate the deposits in the necks of the bottles which will then be removed during the disgorging process. Before the fnal sealing and labelling, the wine will be dosed with the Crémant Brut liqueur.
