La Perle De Ma Mere Brut Cremant De Bourgogne Blanc de Blanc

Produced by Domaine Guy Amoit. The grapes for this (80% Chardonnay, 20% Aligote) sparkler were sourced from Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Mercurey, Ruilly. The grapes were gently crushed in a 50 hectoliter pneumatic crusher with several steps of steadily growing pressure. The wine is then cold fermented in temperature-controlled tanks. After bottling, the wine was fermented a second time in the bottle (Methode Champeonoise) and aged 18 months on the yeast. This Cremant shows a shiny pale gold color with a fine mousse. The nose is fruity and floral while the mouth is light and round at the same time. This subtle result comes from the happy combination of the Chardonnay "finesse" and the freshness of Aligote. Best served as an aperitif or with white meats and mild seafood.
