Bailly Lapierre Crémant de Bourgogne Chardonnay Brut

A Crémant de Bourgogne made from Chardonnay as a blanc de blancs, from the Bailly Lapierre cellar in Saint-Bris-le-Vineux. It is a non-vintage Brut that combines the finesse and mineral character of Champagne with the traits of Burgundy. Bright straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is floral and fruity, with apple, pear and pineapple, chalky minerality, yeast and bread crust. The palate is dry, fine and balanced between freshness and acidity, and the finish stays on the fruit with good persistence. It works well as an aperitif and with rich charcuterie starters.
