Claude Manciat Cremant De Bourgogne NV

About the Wine

Cremant de Bourgogne is the perfect alternative for sparkling wine lovers who are looking for high-quality bubbly at a reasonable price. Produced by the traditional Champenoise method, Cremant offers a fantastic value alternative to Champagne.

Decanter says that “Champagne region no longer has a monopoly on high-quality fizz. Look beyond France’s premier sparkling region, and you’ll be rewarded – there is a surprising wealth of complex and keenly priced options to discover, in the Crémant sparkling wine category.”

Claude Manciat was one of a handful of top-flight producers in the Maconnais area. Up until the early 1980s, his wines were sold in bulk to local negociants, but shifting market trends during that period made it possible for a small producer to make a good living bottling his own wine. Today the estate is owned and managed by the jubilant Marie-Pierre Manciat, who represents the 5th generation of vignerons in her family.

There are 56 total acres spread out among 5 villages. The Domaine is meticulously run with the utmost focus on bringing in perfect fruit. They practice sustainable viticulture, and the yields at this Domaine are routinely 20-30 percent lower than what is allowed in each given appellation allowing Marie-Pierre to craft wines that are rich and powerful while remaining focused with an emphasis on the calcite-rich soils of each terroir. These wines represent absolutely great value and quality.

This stunning Cremant De Bourgogne is sourced from the neighboring villages of Pouilly-Fuisse. 

Tasting Notes: Blend of 1/3 each Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Aligoté. Nice yeast and baked bread notes in the nose. This is a deliciously, fruity and rich Cremant; fruit flavors of apple and melon with chalky aspects and a crisp, clean finish.
