Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs | Harmony & refinement of Chardonnay
Perle d’Ivoire is made exclusively from white grapes; the noble Chardonnay, which makes the great Burgundy grand crus, underscored by the zest of the Aligoté grape. Terroirs from the two extremities of Burgundy are blended to make this harmonious cuvée. The Mâconnais brings a rich fattiness, while fruit from the Yonne and Chatillonnais provide vivacity and crispness.
Its yellow color with hints of green and gold show its fine bubbles in a lovely light. The nose opens on white blossom then citrus, before developing pleasant buttery and brioche notes. Full and rounded in the mouth, with a certain vivacity, and complex secondary aromas that evolve over time, delighting the taste buds. The harmony and elegance of Perle d’Ivoire makes a match for a wide variety of dishes, from the simplest to the most exotic.
Audacious combinations: A contemporary aperitif, soft cheese on toast, sushi, asparagus tips, oysters.
The grapes come mainly from the north of Burgundy (Yonne, Chatillonnais) and the south (Mâconnais). Gentle pneumatic pressing respects the fruit, and separate handling of the juice produces musts of great quality. Cold settling followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled vats preserves the personality of the wine, in particular its aromas. Once the bubbles have formed in the bottles, Perle d’Ivoire ages on laths for more than 18 months, enhancing the wine and bringing great elegance.
