Crémant de Bourgogne is méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine from Burgundy — the same hand-harvest and bottle fermentation as Champagne, from grapes grown on the limestone and clay hillsides of the Mâconnais. Famille Vincent sources exclusively from family-owned parcels in the warmer southern end of Burgundy, picking early in the season to preserve acidity and mineral tension before the summer heat can soften them. The result is a Chardonnay with fine, persistent bubbles, a light yeasty lift, and the clean apple-and-citrus profile that makes this appellation an annual best-buy against Champagne — Wine & Spirits ranked it 92 points, Best Buy, two years running.
Antoine Vincent — fifth generation at Château Fuissé, one of the Mâconnais’s benchmark estates — brings the same attention to this négociant label as the domaine’s acclaimed still whites. Dry, honest, and easy to drink without being thin. A Champagne substitute that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
PAIRINGS :
| Oysters on the half shell | the mineral salinity is the textbook match; fine bubbles reset the palate between bites |
| Smoked salmon with crème fraîche | the mousse lifts the richness; the wine’s apple notes frame the smoke cleanly |
| Brie or Camembert with baguette | the cheese’s creaminess finds the wine’s body; acidity keeps it from cloying |
