Cremant de Bourgogne Brut 'Grande Cuvée' Magnum Veuve Ambal

The Crémant de Bourgogne Brut "Grande Cuvée" by Veuve Ambal is an extremely enjoyable and regional classic method sparkling wine with an unbeatable quality-price ratio. When talking about French sparkling wines, it’s often natural to think of the Champagne region, but one should not forget that there are other equally suited terroirs whose wines could stand up to their more famous counterparts in blind tastings. Burgundy is one of those legendary regions where every type of wine produced can reach excellence, thanks to a unique geological composition that enhances the grape varieties planted here, namely Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Aligoté, the same ones that create this delicious label bottled by Veuve Ambal. All the liquids are committed to the stylistic hallmark of elegance and accessibility, convivial bottles to stock up on, especially considering the quality-price ratio decisively skewed towards the former.

The Crémant Brut "Grande Cuvée" is made from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay, and Aligoté grapes, sourced from vineyards located in the commune of Corton, in Côte d'Or. In the vineyard, utmost attention is paid to the perfect ripening of the grapes and the selection of the best clusters, while in the cellar, the process involves gentle pressing, alcoholic fermentation, and bottle fermentation according to the classic method. The wine ages between 12 and 18 months on its lees and, after disgorging, is dosed.

The Brut "Grande Cuvée" Crémant de Bourgogne by Veuve Ambal presents itself in the glass with an intense straw yellow color edged with golden reflections. The nose boasts great richness and olfactory breadth, with notes ranging from salted butter to brioche, from acacia to linden, for a delightful and charming profile. The sip is smooth and creamy, developing with hints of exotic fruit and pastry cream, yet enlivened by a lovely burst of freshness and sapidity.
