Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé Brut AOC

A Crémant de Bourgogne that shows what the méthode traditionnelle can achieve outside of Champagne: 18 months of bottle aging on the lees give this Pinot Noir rosé a depth rarely found in sparkling wines of this price range.

Françoise Chauvenet is a traditional house from Nuits-Saint-Georges in the heart of Burgundy. The winery's Crémants are produced according to the strict requirements of the AOC Bourgogne — second fermentation in the bottle, hand-harvesting, careful selection. The rosé is based on Pinot Noir, the grape variety that has made Burgundy world-famous.

In the glass, it glows salmon-pink with a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, raspberry, red currant, and a hint of blood orange, along with floral notes of white blossoms. On the palate, lively and fresh, with a precise acid structure and a long, slightly mineral finish.

Serve well-chilled at 7–9 °C — as an aperitif, with salmon tartare, light goat cheese, or strawberry desserts.
