Crémant de Bourgogne AOC Brut Prestige Chardonnay 2021 Maison Moillard

Moillard's Crémant de Bourgogne Prestige is a refined example of sparkling wine produced according to the traditional method entirely with Chardonnay grapes from regions that offer a variety of terroirs. The soils are granitic in nature, with schists and clay veins in the Beaujolais, calcareous and marly on the Côte Chalonnaise, limestone and kimméridgian clay-limestone on Epineuil. The characteristics of these soils contribute to the complexity and finesse of the wine.

The grape harvest follows a careful process that begins with the immediate pressing of the bunches, using pneumatic presses. Subsequently, we proceed with the separation of the solid sediments, called débourbage. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, followed by the blending of the wines which then undergo a second fermentation in the bottle. The refinement takes place for 15 months on the yeasts, after which the wine is placed on rotating supports and finally disgorged, with the addition of the liqueur d'expédition.

It has a pale yellow color with golden reflections, characterized by fine bubbles and a persistent foam. On the nose, delicate notes of white flowers, walnut and peach emerge. In the mouth, it stands out for its freshness, with floral aromas and a notable aromatic persistence, where the fine and delicate bubble enhances its elegance.

It is ideal as an aperitif, but its versatility allows it to also accompany a meal or enhance fruit-based desserts.
