JAFFELIN CREMANT DE BOURGOGNE ROSÉ BRUT

Tasting notes:

Lovely hue with rose petal nuances. On the nose, the Crémant reveals aromas of flowers and fresh fruit. Nice and lively on entry to the palate, which opens with subtle aromas of red fruit.

About the wine:

Produced in various vineyards within the Burgundy appellation area, its production has been constantly increasing due to its popularity with French and international consumers.

A delicate blend of 3 Burgundy grape varieties (Chardonnay, Gamay, Pinot Noir), this Crémant is made according to the traditional method with a minimum ageing of 12 months 'sur lattes' (horizontally).

About the producer:

Founded in 1816, the maison Jaffelin house is now considered the smallest of the great houses of Burgundy. The house Jaffelin vinifies and ages his wines in the historic center of Beaune in the prestigious cellars of the Chapter of Our Lady of the twelfth century, maintaining traditional methods. For example, the estate presses its grapes in a vertical wine-press; a rare, traditional technique using handmade vats.  

This allows for “hand sewn” wines coming from “small villages” as Rully, Santenay, Monthélie, Fixin but also best known villages such as Beaune, Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle Musigny.

Food match:

With its powerful floral aromas, this Crémant is the ideal dessert wine, bringing a meal to a refreshing end. Its fruity aromas will marry perfectly with a red fruit sorbet.
