Louis Bouillot
Perle d'Or Millésime Cremant de Bourgogne Brut Champagne Blend
Burgundy, France
Louis Bouillot – Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Millésimé 2018
AOC Crémant de Bourgogne – Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, France 🇫🇷
Overview
From limestone- and chalk-rich soils in Burgundy’s Nuits-Saint-Georges, crafted in the méthode champenoise. 60% Chardonnay forms the base of this vintage blend and 40% Pinot Noir, offering a sparkling wine that mirrors Champagne’s finesse while carrying a Burgundian soul.
Aromas & Flavors
Fresh orchard fruit (apple, pear), lemon zest, brioche, and subtle minerality. Hints of almond and chalk elevate its elegance.
Mouthfeel
Crisp yet rounded, with fine persistent bubbles. A structured, creamy texture balanced by bright acidity.
Food Pairings
Excellent with oysters, scallops, or sushi. Also pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses like Brie or Comté.
Verdict
A superb Crémant, layered, refined, and capable of standing tall beside many Champagnes. A hidden gem for those seeking value without compromise in elegance.
Did You Know?
Crémant de Bourgogne is produced under strict regulations similar to Champagne, including secondary fermentation in bottle and extended lees aging, yet often costs a fraction of the price.
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
Among the most structured and Champagne-like Crémants I’ve tried. Simply amazing. Cheers!
