Description
A refined and elegant traditional-method sparkling wine, Dufouleur Père et Fils’ Crémant de Bourgogne is a beautiful expression of Burgundy’s sparkling wine heritage. Pale golden in colour with a persistent fine mousse, it exudes aromas of crisp green apple, citrus zest, white flowers, and subtle brioche notes. The palate is fresh and lively, with flavours of pear, lemon, and toasted almonds, balanced by a delicate minerality and a creamy texture. A fantastic alternative to Champagne, offering sophistication and finesse at exceptional value.
History and Winemaking
Founded in 1848, Dufouleur Père et Fils is a historic Burgundy producer dedicated to crafting quality-driven wines that reflect the region’s terroir. Crémant de Bourgogne, made using the Méthode Traditionnelle, undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, just like Champagne, resulting in a fine mousse and complex autolytic character. Aged on lees for added depth, this Crémant retains both freshness and richness, making it an ideal sparkling wine for any occasion.
Tasting Notes
Elegant and aromatic, with notes of green apple, pear, lemon zest, and fresh white flowers, alongside subtle hints of brioche and almond. The palate is crisp and refined, featuring bright acidity, a fine mousse, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
Pairings
This versatile sparkling wine is perfect as an apéritif, pairing beautifully with oysters, smoked salmon, or sushi. Its zesty freshness and creamy texture also complement creamy cheeses like Brie or Chaource, as well as light seafood dishes and canapés.
