Burgundy Fizz: Louis Bouillot Crémant de Bourgogne Grande Réserve Brut

Tasting Notes

Pale straw-yellow with a lively mousse and fine bead. Aromas bloom with peach, apple, citrus blossom, fresh thyme and subtle violet nuances. The palate is bright and creamy—citrus zest, green apple, bread dough and a hint of brioche meet a chalky mineral line. Finishes long and crisp with saline lift—bubble finesse with dignity. 

Meet the Winemaker

Their Grande Réserve Brut is a traditional-method crémant made from estate fruit across Côte d’Or vineyards—mainly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—produced with old-school technique and modern polish. A classic expression of Burgundy in fizz form.
