“Tasted blind, you’d be forgiven for confusing this with Champagne. It is truly excellent.” - Decanter, 93 points

Cremant de Bourgogne is almost always referred to as a less expensive alternative to Champagne, which is fair enough, given the similarities in the way it is made, but give the kid a break, it doesn’t always have to play the plucky little brother role. We think this one is just as good as many a brut Champagne. It displays a pale silver colour with hints of burnished copper and aromas of shortbread, citrus and apple strudel. It’s made in the traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Aligoté. 12% alc. Drink now-2028.

Press review:

Decanter: “Tasted blind, you’d be forgiven for confusing this with Champagne. It is truly excellent, with beautiful balance, elegance and buckets of zesty freshness, with that refreshment factor underscored by appealing richness and depth.” 93 points
