Tasting Notes

This Blanc de Blancs is distinguished by its fine and delicate effervescence, a palate that is both fresh and enveloping.

This crémant is meticulously crafted, delicately aged on its own lees for 30 months, which gives it a refined effervescence. It reveals a complex aromatic palate, subtly blending flavours of cooked apples, quince, and buttered brioche. Its finish, without added sugar, makes it a perfect choice for an aperitif, offering a unique sensory experience that stands out from classic Champagne bubbles. It’s a brilliant alternative for crémant lovers, combining precision and originality in every sip.

Producer Profile

Montgermont was started in 1822 and throughout the 19th and 20th centuries the team at Montgermont have honed their craft, receiving well deserved awards and accolades for their sparkling wines.

Samuel Montgermont was not predestined to dive into the wine world, born and raised in Brittany originally a legal expert, he eventually began specialising in viticultural and vinification and for this he settled in the Rhone valley. Samuel fell in love with the region and with the world of wine and all it can offer. After working in general and cellar management at renowned estates including Domaine des Béates (property of Michel Chapoutier) and then Chateau la Gardine in Chateauneuf du Pape.

More recently Samuel was appointed general manager of the Compagnie Vinicole de Bourgogne, and it was here that he discovered both the world of sparkling wines and Burgundy. Benefiting from his Rhone blending expertise, Samuel started his side project; the blending of an own line of wines under his signature, Montgermont.

Viticulture

Côte Chalonnaise is probably the birthplace of Crémant de Bourgogne. Indeed, in 1822 grape growers based in Rully and Mercurey invited a young Champagne winemaker to their estates. Burgundy sparkling wine was born.

All over the 19th and 20th centuries, this sparkling production has improved, until the recognition in 1975 of the AOC Crémant de Bourgogne.

The soil is made of argilo-calcareous marls.
