Chateau Bel Air Cremant de Bourgogne N.V.

FLORAL, FINE AND ELEGANT, THIS DELICATE SPARKLING HAS PALATE DEPTH FROM ITS METHODE TRADITIONELLE PRODUCTION

 

"100% Chardonnay, this Cremant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs Brut has a rich and graceful taste. It is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in a vineyard called Pierres Dorees (Golden Stones). The first fermentation takes place in oak barrels, after which the wine is fermented a second time with the addition of wine yeast. This process takes place in bottles and lasts at least 12 months. After removing the precipitate, the wine is additionally aged for 3 months in the cellars. Very beautiful Cremantes de Bourgogne from Vigneron de Bel Air has a classic style.

The dry, crispy taste of the wine matches the aroma. A good level of minerality and refined acidity support the freshness of the aftertaste, which is complemented by light hints of vanilla and almond. A pleasant, refreshing aroma of wine is formed by subtle notes of unripe peach, peel of green apple, candied citrus, freshly cut grass and freshly baked bread.

Domaine de Bel-Air, owned and operated by Jean-Marc Lafont, produces Beaujolais wines of great finesse. It is indeed Jean-Marc’s exemplary work in his ideally-located vineyards that is the key to these magnificent wines. The vineyard is located at the border of Burgundy where one finds clay and limestone soils; ideal for Chardonnay." - Clos Cachet
