WINE DESCRIPTION
The grapes for this Crémant de Bourgogne sparkling wine are carefully selected from vineyards located in the southern part of Burgundy. These vineyards, characterized by limestone, clay, and pebble soils, are strategically situated in cooler regions. The grapes are hand-harvested early in the season to retain their mineral qualities and acidity, ensuring a fresh and crisp character in the final bottling. Originally, the term "Crémant" was associated with "Champagne demi-mousse," a style of Champagne with slightly lower pressure, around 5 bar compared to the standard 6.5 to 7 bar. The production method for Crémant, known as the "méthode traditionnelle," mirrors the "méthode champenoise" and results in a bottle pressure of 6.5 bar.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
JJ Vincent Crémant de Bourgogne Brut is a delightful sparkling wine from the Burgundy region of France.It is made using the traditional method, just like Champagne, which gives it a fine and persistent effervescence.
On the nose, this Crémant de Bourgogne offers a bouquet of fresh citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with delicate floral notes. There is also a hint of brioche and toasted almonds, adding complexity to the aroma.
The palate is crisp and lively, with a good balance between acidity and fruitiness. The citrus flavors continue to shine, accompanied by flavors of green apple and white peach. The fine bubbles create a creamy texture, enhancing the overall mouthfeel.
JJ Vincent Crémant de Bourgogne Brut is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or paired with a variety of dishes. Its refreshing acidity makes it a great match for seafood, particularly oysters or grilled fish. It also complements soft cheeses and light desserts.
