Very good choice.
Tasted very good to everyone in a convivial round. Better than champagne, as it has less carbon dioxide. Can you recommend a good red wine from France (Cotes du rhone ? ) Horst Brill

Malesan Crémant de Bordeaux Brut
A classic Bordeaux sparkling wine made using the traditional method: fresh, dry, with fine bubbles – for those who prefer Crémant to Champagne without sacrificing substance.
Behind Malesan is Castel, one of France's largest wine companies with deep roots in Bordeaux. The grapes, including Sémillon as the defining variety, are harvested by hand. After traditional bottle fermentation, the Crémant matures on the lees for at least 12 months – significantly longer than the legal minimum of 9 months for the appellation.
In the glass, it's pale yellow with a fine mousse. The nose reveals white pear, lemon zest, and a hint of brioche from the lees. On the palate, it's dry, with lively acidity and pleasant freshness; the finish is clean and medium-long. Not a heavy sparkling wine – rather a light and easy-drinking style, perfect for everyday enjoyment.
Serving temperature: 7–9 °C. Enjoy as an aperitif, with seafood, goat cheese, or light fish dishes. Also a good choice as an approachable alternative to Champagne for larger gatherings.

Quick answers
How does the Malesan Crémant de Bordeaux taste?
Dry and fresh, with fine perlage. In the nose, white pear, lemon zest, and a subtle brioche tone from yeast aging. On the palate, lively acidity, clean finish – not a heavy sparkling wine, rather light-footed.
What is the difference to Champagne?
Crémant de Bordeaux is produced according to the same Méthode Traditionnelle as Champagne – i.e., with bottle fermentation and yeast aging – but comes from Bordeaux and is more accessible in price. The style is somewhat fresher and less complex than an aged Champagne.
What does it pair with at the table?
As an aperitif, it makes the most sense. Seafood, oysters, and light fish dishes go well with it. It also works with goat cheese – the acidity stands up to the cheese without overpowering it.
At what temperature should I serve it?
Best at 7–9 °C – so well chilled from the fridge. If it is too warm, it loses freshness and perlage; if it is too cold, it dampens the aromas.
Is it suitable for larger groups or parties?
Yes, that is one of its strengths. As an accessible alternative to Champagne for larger groups, it is easy to calculate – without guests having to forgo substance or Méthode Traditionnelle.
How long can I store it?
Crémant is generally made for prompt drinking, not for long storage. Stored cool and dark, it keeps well, but freshness is its main appeal – the sooner, the better.
The Domaine
It would have been easier to rest on safe values. But the Castell family thinks further ahead. They preserve the know-how, pass the passion on to the next generation, and maintain their châteaus and domains – with joy and foresight.
For them, wine is more than a product: It is about culture. About sharing knowledge, about exchange with chefs, sommeliers, and everyone who loves taste. Producing country wines and Grands Crus is one thing. The other: not keeping anything to themselves.
Sustainable, responsible, and with heart. Because at Castel Châteaux & Grands Crus, they live by the conviction that wine must follow its ideas. Persistent, courageous, and with a flame that carries on – from generation to generation.
