Perle d'Or Millésime Cremant de Bourgogne Brut Champagne Blend
Burgundy, France
Nice vintage Burgundy Crémant showing fine bubbles with thick mousse. Sweet fruit aromas with yeasty mineral tones. On the palate, pear and apple on the palate, with berry notes, a touch sweet, great structure and balance. The lingering finish ends with toasty biscuit notes. Tasting Sample.

Bright yellow gold with small, persistent bubbles and rough white mousse. Ample nose of baked quince, lemon zest, and fresh brioche. Echoed on the palate with zingy acidity wrapped by a voluptuous body. Yes, I agree with the good folks at Decanter. This is both a great sparkling wine and a great value. LB’s non-vintage offerings also deserve looking into. I’m enjoying with herbed swai and quinoa pilaf.

Lemon-lime zestiness mixed with brioche notes and a medium finish. Good value for a vintage French sparkler!

Aug 13th, 2016Surprisingly good! I used not to be a fan, but the winemakers of my friend Jean-Claude are now making a pretty good job! What's left to champagne, but the price? ;-)

Louis Bouillot – Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Millésimé 2018
AOC Crémant de Bourgogne – Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, France 🇫🇷
Overview
From limestone- and chalk-rich soils in Burgundy’s Nuits-Saint-Georges, crafted in the méthode champenoise. 60% Chardonnay forms the base of this vintage blend and 40% Pinot Noir, offering a sparkling wine that mirrors Champagne’s finesse while carrying a Burgundian soul.
Aromas & Flavors
Fresh orchard fruit (apple, pear), lemon zest, brioche, and subtle minerality. Hints of almond and chalk elevate its elegance.
Mouthfeel
Crisp yet rounded, with fine persistent bubbles. A structured, creamy texture balanced by bright acidity.
Food Pairings
Excellent with oysters, scallops, or sushi. Also pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses like Brie or Comté.
Verdict
A superb Crémant, layered, refined, and capable of standing tall beside many Champagnes. A hidden gem for those seeking value without compromise in elegance.
Did You Know?
Crémant de Bourgogne is produced under strict regulations similar to Champagne, including secondary fermentation in bottle and extended lees aging, yet often costs a fraction of the price.
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
Among the most structured and Champagne-like Crémants I’ve tried. Simply amazing. Cheers!

Lots of apple, bit of wax. Lemon. On the denser side. Food-friendly.
