Louis Bouillot – Blanc de Noirs – Brut
Crémant de Bourgogne AOP – Burgundy – France 🇫🇷

Overview
A Blanc de Noirs crafted primarily from Pinot Noir (and sometimes Gamay), showcasing a more structured and savory expression of Crémant de Bourgogne. Traditional method production delivers finesse, while this cuvée leans into tension and complexity over simple fruitiness.

Aromas & Flavors
Subtle red berry notes, wild strawberry and raspberry, intertwine with brioche, toasted almond, and a lightly savory, almost mineral-driven undertone. Less about fruit, more about nuance and depth.

Mouthfeel
Fine mousse with vibrant acidity. The palate shows noticeable tension, especially on the back end, where it lingers longer than expected. Slightly firmer structure gives it a more gastronomic feel.

Food Pairings
Perfect with charcuterie, mushroom dishes, roasted poultry, or aged cheeses. Also shines with savory appetizers where the wine’s tension can elevate the pairing.

Verdict
A more savory and structured Crémant that stands apart from lighter, fruit-forward styles. Complex, balanced, and quietly delicious, this is Crémant with intent.

Did You Know?
Blanc de Noirs means “white from black,” referring to sparkling wines made from red grapes like Pinot Noir, where careful pressing avoids color extraction while preserving structure and depth.

🍷 Personal Pick
A go-to when I want bubbles with a bit more edge, less playful, more thoughtful, and seriously satisfying. — a month ago

One of my favorites. Too sweet for my husband. Great “patio wine” — has some bubbles, serve chilled, very easy to drink. Love love love — 4 years ago

I've never had sparkling gamay (this isn't a blend). Lots of fizz! Cranberry, candy, and rambutan! Bone dry.
