The vineyard
This white or rosé sparkling wine, is a speciality of the Châtillonnais. This is a protected designation of origin (AOC) that represents 85% of the local wine production and 20% of the Cremant regional production. This is made of chardonnay and pinot noir grape variety. Cultivated and turned into wine in the respect of tradition, the Cremant of Burgundy is perfect for the aperitif and for a festive table. Lively and fresh, powerful and fruity, there is a whole range of savour and colour that our wine-grower will make you discover.
