Crémant de Bourgogne, Brut Blanc 2022

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

Colour & Appearance

Pale, clear straw yellow with lively golden reflections. The perlage is fine, persistent and of remarkable elegance – a promising first impression.

Nose

Lively and delicate: The nose opens with zesty freshness and unfolds a multi-layered aromatic play of mirabelle plum, peach and persimmon, accompanied by green pear, apple and a subtle quince note. Subtle accents of almonds, fresh lemon balm, lemon thyme and chervil lend depth and precision to the nose. Light vegetable hints of fennel fronds and delicate yeast and pastry notes round out the picture in perfect harmony.

Palate

Light-footed and precise on the palate: The yellow and green fruit aromas remain elegantly integrated, never descending into heaviness. The mousseux imparts not only liveliness but also a pleasant, delicate creaminess. Slender, crisp and with high drinkability – classic Crémant character at its finest.

Finish

Fresh, clear and vibrant, with an invigorating acidity structure that cleanses the palate and invites the next sip. Medium-length, lively finish.

Terroir & Origin

From the heart of Burgundy, one of France’s most tradition-rich wine regions, comes this Crémant from the Thomas-Collardot estate – a producer renowned for artisanal care and Burgundian authenticity. The cooler climate of the 2022 vintage favours the natural freshness and vibrancy of this sparkling wine.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The cuvée unites three classic Burgundian grape varieties: Pinot Noir for structure and depth, Chardonnay for elegance and finesse, and the rarely used Aligoté, which contributes fresh acidity and liveliness. Traditional bottle fermentation using the Méthode Traditionnelle. At 12.0% Vol. with a dry Brut character.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A versatile companion: excellent as an aperitif, but also with oysters, grilled prawns and light fish dishes. Equally harmonious with goat’s cheese, Quiche Lorraine or a delicate vegetable tart.

Special Features

An honest, unpretentious Crémant that combines Burgundian craftsmanship with everyday elegance. Not a wine for grand gestures – but for carefree enjoyment in everyday life.
