A white wine from white grapes, elaborated with
impeccable care and savoir-faire in the traditional method ("méthode
champenoise"). This pale yellow and bright sparkling wine ("crémant")
has a racy and floral nose. Its soft taste is very pleasant on
the tongue where all the aromas melt in a long finish.
Vine location :
Charnay-les- Mâcon.
Type of soil :
Clay and limestone.
Exposure :
south, south-west on the hillside
.
Grape variety :
100 % Chardonnay " Blancs
de Blancs "
Vine age :

Training system :
Simple arcure ( bending of canes), soil ploughing, natural fertilizing
. Our vine-growing approach obeys 2 principles :
- an environmentally-concerned agriculture.
- a rational pest control.
Harvest :
carried out with openwork
crates to prevent oxidation from damaging the grapes.
Winemaking :
the pressing is limited to
100 liters of juice for 150 kg of grapes harvested. The bottle-fermentation
( prise de mousse) is started by sugar and yeast adding (liqueur de
tirage) and lasts 9 months at least ; the bottles being stored horizontally.
Then ,the riddling of the racks (remuage) is carried out : it lasts
one month. The disgorging (dégorgement) will make it possible to remove
the sediment gathered in the neck. The dosage (liqueur d'expédition)
will finally be added and the quantity of sugar included will establish
the difference between crémants bruts ( = very dry) and demi -secs
( = half-dry) .
Characteristics :
Our Crémant is light, brilliant
and fruity ; very lively and with very fine bubbles. The flute-glass
is ideally shaped to appreciate it.
Food and wine match :
can be seved as an apéritif,
or at a christening party or at a wedding. Can be drunk on its own
or can be flavoured with blackcurrant, peach or raspberry liqueur.
Should be served between 6 to 8° C . The ice-bucket is its best cradle.
