What is Crémant?

Crémant is a sparkling wine made with secondary fermentation in the bottle – just like Champagne. The difference lies in geography and grape varieties . Crémant is produced in eight regions in France, including:

• Crémant de Bourgogne – often Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with structure and elegance
• Crémant d'Alsace – fresh and aromatic, often with Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Auxerrois
• Crémant de Loire – mineral and apple-fresh, often Chenin Blanc-based
• Crémant de Limoux – southern French, round and sun-ripened with fine bubbles

Why choose Crémant?

• Produced using the same traditional method as Champagne
• Fewer marketing dollars – more wine for the money
• Often from family-owned wineries with a strong focus on craftsmanship
• Suitable for both aperitifs, meals and celebrations

Flavor profile

Crémant can vary depending on region and grape variety, but typically has:

• Fine and persistent bubbles
• Notes of citrus, green apples, brioche and white flowers
• Fresh acidity and mineral finish
• Brut is the most common style – dry and balanced

Food for Crémant – more than just an aperitif
