Indulge in the elegance of Clotilde Davenne Crémant de Bourgogne, a prime example of sparkling excellence from the Yonne Valley in Burgundy. Crafted with expertise, this Crémant blends the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, embodying the distinct characteristics of the region. Renowned for its precision and purity, Clotilde Davenne's winemaking approach brings forth a sparkling wine that rivals the complexity and finesse found in more well-known bubbly regions.

From the producer: 

Independent vigneron Clotilde Davenne built her 8.5-hectare domaine in the Yonne, parcel by parcel over the last nine years, initially while simultaneously working as the chef oenologue for the prestigious Chablis house of Jean-Marc Brocard. Her dream had always been to have her "hands on" all aspects of the production and as a grower she is now fully integrated into the life of each of her wines, from bud break to bottle. The results are soulful, expressively vibrant wines that uniquely speak of the particularity of their origin. Many come from extremely old and deep-rooted, low-yielding vines, and viticulture is practiced with great respect for the environment and no filtration is used prior to bottling.

Nose: Aromatic elegance unfolds with notes of fresh citrus, green apples, and white flowers, underpinned by a delicate yeasty undertone that adds depth and richness.

Palate: The palate is both vibrant and refined, offering a seamless integration of creamy texture and lively acidity. It features flavors of ripe pear, lemon curd, and a hint of nuttiness, complemented by fine bubbles that enhance the textural sensation.

Finish: Completes with a long, mineral-driven finish, showcasing the limestone and chalky soil influence of the Yonne Valley, leaving a lasting impression of crispness and sophistication.

Perfect as an aperitif, Clotilde Davenne Crémant de Bourgogne also pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Its freshness and acidity make it an ideal match for shellfish, sushi, or creamy goat cheese. For a celebration or a special meal, it complements delicate flavors like poached white fish or a light chicken salad, making each dining experience memorable.
