ABOUT THIS WINE
Highly recommended by Jonathan Ray
"One of the tastiest, best-value traditional method fizzers around..." — Jonathan Ray, The Spectator
Why we recommend it
- An excellent alternative to Champagne
Vintage Crémant de Bourgogne made using the traditional method, offering impressive quality for under £20 a bottle. - Perfect for entertaining
An elegant, generously flavoured sparkling wine that's equally enjoyable as an apéritif or when shared with friends and family. - Excellent with food
A fine match for seafood, grilled fish and lighter dishes, with the freshness to work beautifully as an apéritif.
Classically styled vintage fizz that is Champagne in all but name: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blended and bottle-fermented via 'la méthode champenoise' and aged extensively on lees. Exceptional quality and value for well under £20 a bottle and superior to generic, cheaper Champagnes.
Tasting Note
Lots of fresh fruit on the nose with a hint of creamy nuttiness that lends real complexity to the palate. Extra bottle age deepens this complexity in more savoury layers that develop, making for a crémant of real sophistication that also represents remarkable value for money.

What do the critics think?
This had such rave reviews that I was initially a bit disappointed - pleasant though it was. However, with a bit of bottle age, and as I became more familiar with it, it has grown on me. I suggest leaving it for six months at least until the honey and caramel notes develop.
Delightfully light, but with reasonable body. Ideal summer fizz.
