Product Description
Bailly Lapierre's Crémant de Bourgogne Réserve Brut is a distinguished sparkling wine from Burgundy, France. Crafted using the traditional method, this Crémant is a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Aligoté grapes, sourced from the heart of the Auxerre district. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by extended aging on the lees, which imparts complexity and depth. With an alcohol content of 12% and a residual sugar level of 10 g/L, it strikes a perfect balance between freshness and richness. The result is a congenial, rounded, and full-bodied Crémant with a varied bouquet, making it an easy-drinking yet sophisticated choice for any occasion.

Nose:
The bouquet is expressive, featuring attractive aromas of citrus, nuts, and toast, complemented by delicate floral and biscuit tones.

Palate:
On the palate, it offers flavors of green apple, lemon, and red berries, enhanced by a creamy mousse and a clear minerality. The wine is well-balanced, with a congenial and rounded profile that is both refreshing and satisfying.

Finish:
The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering notes of brioche and hazelnut, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that invites another sip.

Seafood: The wine's freshness and citrus notes make it an excellent companion to seafood dishes such as oysters, shrimp cocktail, or grilled fish, enhancing their natural flavors.

Poultry: Pairs well with roasted or grilled poultry, where its acidity and fruitiness complement the savory aspects of the dish.

Soft Cheeses: Enjoy alongside creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, where the wine's effervescence cuts through the richness, creating a harmonious balance.

Light Appetizers: Ideal with light appetizers such as canapés, smoked salmon, or vegetable crudités, enhancing the flavors without overpowering them.
