Beyond the Bottle: The Art of Crémant
Crémant is a sparkling wine produced in various regions across France, following a method similar to Champagne but with less stringent regulations. This allows for greater diversity in grape varietals and styles. Delagrange Crémant Blanc de Blancs, as the name suggests, is a "Blanc de Blancs" – made exclusively from white grapes, typically Chardonnay in this case.
The use of Chardonnay grapes in Burgundy is well-known for producing some of the world's most prestigious white wines. However, Crémant de Bourgogne offers a more affordable way to experience the elegance and quality of Burgundian Chardonnay in a sparkling format.
