This outstanding Crémant de Bourgogne is the color of burnished gold, hinting at its age. Toasted and buttery notes on the nose combine with cherries in eau-de-vie and a touch of honey. In the mouth, the Pinot Noir comes through strongly, with retro-olfaction aromas of kirsch and Morello cherries. The finish is fruity and long, a touch of bitterness as a prelude to an enchanting vinosity.
Authentic pairings: Filet mignon and roast poultry, or creamy cheeses.
The 2012 vintage was the result of a summer with optimal conditions, offering grapes with a quality worthy of a great year. The fruit is from the small plot of Dessus Les Vermots, located on a rocky limestone vein in the village of Savigny-Lès-Beaune.
This Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Noirs is the result of meticulous vinification and exceptional ageing: More than 20% of the cuvée was aged in oak barrels for six months. The subtle dosage puts the emphasis on the wine’s natural harmony, which has been honed over five years. Dessus Les Vermots 2012 is a great vintage wine, an indulgence for discerning palates.

Elegance and complexity
After a summer with optimal conditions, the 2012 harvest was magnificent but so small! 2012 is thus a rare, precious vintage!
More than a fifth of the cuvée was aged in oak barrels for six months. Finally, the discreet dosage favours the wine’s natural harmony, which gained a patina over five years! A great vintage wine with a subtle voluptuousness.
A great vintage wine with a subtle voluptuousness. Nose with toasted and buttery notes, cherries in brandy, and then honey.
