As you hold the glass up to the light, admire the elegant pale yellow colour with a touch of gold, hinting at the sunshine-kissed grapes used in its creation.

Swirl the wine gently and let the captivating aromas emerge. The first wave brings forth a burst of freshness, characterised by citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. Hints of white flowers, such as acacia and honeysuckle, add a touch of elegance. As the wine opens up, deeper notes of orchard fruits like pear and apple come to the fore, interwoven with a subtle minerality that reflects the chalky limestone soils of Burgundy.

Take a sip, and prepare to be charmed. The delicate mousse tickles the palate, giving way to a delightful balance of crisp acidity and a touch of sweetness. The flavours echo the aromas, with citrus and orchard fruits taking centre stage. Hints of white pepper add a touch of complexity, while the underlying minerality provides a refreshing backbone. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving you wanting another sip.

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.
