Dominique Piron Cremant de Bourgogne

Drink now through to 2022. Serve chilled.

Burgundy might be better known for its stunning Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines, but the region also produces some remarkable sparkling wines made from these two noble grape varieties. The Dominique Piron Cremant is made with 100% Chardonnay sourced from the village of Corcelles which are grown on north-facing plots, helping to retain a bright freshness and delicate perfume in the grapes. The Piron family have been winemakers for at least 14 generations and today are regarded as one of the region’s leading lights.

Dominique Piron use the traditional method to produce this wine which is exactly the same technique used for making Champagne. The grape must undergoes two fermentations with the second taking place inside the bottle. The resulting wine is then aged for a total of 12 months on the lees to give additional complexity and a creamy texture and a very modest dosage is added at the moment of bottling.

The result is a feather-light mousse and uplifting citrus and tropical fruit aromas which carry through onto the palate. The bright freshness and buttery hints combine harmoniously in the mouth and make this wine an excellent choice as an aperitif or to combine with seafood, pan-fried fish, or creamy chicken dishes.
