Crémant de Bourgogne 'Émérite' 2015
Our vintage Crémant de Bourgogne Émérite is made in exactly the same way as (vintage) champagne but in Burgundy, where arguably the grapes are as good if not better. It is not so acidic as champagne and lower in alcohol (11.5%) so you can drink lots of it.
"I simply love it and drink it whenever I get the chance...it looks and tastes really fine. "Jonathan Ray, 'Drink More Fizz'
It is far less expensive than champagne largely because good chardonnay and pinot grapes are available at a much lower price in Burgundy than in Champagne where the grape prices are fixed by the industry which has never made much sense to me.
Émérite 2015 is a perfect fizz to celebrate this Christmas season. The extra bottle age from a vintage year gives it that extra flavour it is gorgeous.
"As prosecco goes through the roof, people will surely begin to appreciate that a crémant de Bourgogne is five times more delicious than most prosecco, cut-price champagne, or those overhyped English sparkling whites. From Vineyards Direct, who are not paying me to say this, have a fantastic Cave de Lugny 2012 for £13.95. Buy crates of the stuff and watch its value soar." - Freddy Gray, The Spectator (previous vintage)
