Crémant de Bourgogne, Brut Blanc 2022

Wine Description for Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Blanc 2022 by Thomas-Collardot

Colour & Appearance

Pale straw yellow with luminous reflections. The perlage is delicate, persistent and elegant – a visual promise of quality and craftsmanship.

Nose

Lively and refined, this Crémant presents itself with impressive complexity. Yellow stone fruits dominate – mirabelle, peach and persimmon – flanked by pear, apple and multifaceted quince. Subtle notes of almonds and fresh garden herbs such as lemon balm, lemon thyme and mint lend unexpected depth. Vegetable accents of fennel fronds and pea shoots provide freshness, whilst delicate yeast notes and pastry aromas reveal the traditional méthode traditionnelle. A clear, precise bouquet without unnecessary embellishment.

Palate

Light-footed and precisely structured, the 2022 shows itself at its best. The mousseux imparts not only liveliness but also a delicate creaminess that elegantly carries the yellow and green fruit aromas. Slender, crisp and tense – exactly what characterises a classic Brut Crémant. No heaviness, no overloading, just pure drinking pleasure and Burgundian finesse.

Finish

Fresh and lively with lingering citrus notes and a hint of brioche. The fine acidity ensures a clean, refreshing conclusion.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A classic Burgundian cuvée of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Aligoté, vinified using the traditional method. At 12% alcohol, the Crémant remains elegant and approachable – perfect for the modern palate that values finesse over power.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A versatile companion: excellent as an aperitif, with oysters, scallops or ceviche. Also an excellent choice with goat’s cheese, smoked salmon or light vegetable tempura. The herbal notes harmonise wonderfully with asparagus and spring vegetables.

Special Features

With this 2022, Thomas-Collardot proves that Crémant de Bourgogne is more than an affordable Champagne alternative. This is an independent, characterful sparkling wine with Burgundian identity – precise, elegant and refreshingly honest.
