Tasted this again recently. Chardonnay & Pinot Noir Blend from Burgundy! Pale lemon color, fine bubbles with a light creamy mousse and aromas of fresh fruit with biscuit scents. On the palate red berry, citrus and peachy flavors with nice mineral tones, dry with vivid acidity. Lingering finish with good balance ending with fruit and slight mineral and yeast tang. Excellent value as a Champagne alternative! Tasting Sample.

I was impressed with this Cremant. Perhaps coming from so close to Champagne the odds are in its favour. But nice toast, yeast and depth.

1 person found it helpfulMar 13th, 2018A nice value from Burgundy! Fine bubbles with a light mousse. Aromas of fresh berry fruit with spice scents. On the palate ripe berry and cherry fruit come forth with underlying sweetness, but on the dryer side. The finish has plenty of acidity, good balance and structure ending with fruit flavors about medium in length. Excellent value.
