Andre Delorme - Blanc de Blancs - Brut Reserve NV

Description

The Domaine is managed according to sustainable methods. The use of specific cultivation techniques aims to reduce the number of treatments by optimizing their position and efficiency. Environmental concerns are at the core of our approach and influence our work in the vineyards and the cellars. We are one of the few Maison’s in Burgundy to produce both our own wines and our own Crémants de Bourgogne. The grapes from a plot selection are harvested by hand then pressed slowly in our pneumatic wine press. The blends are created based on the terroirs the grapes came from, and the personalities we want these vintages to have. The effervescence is produced directly in the bottle and develops its finesse during long months of ageing in our cellars at a constant 16°C.

Tasting notes

This Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs has a beautiful white color with bright highlights. Its nose reveals notes of white flowers. In the mouth, hints of peaches and pears produce an undisputed touch of freshness. It is perfect with seafood platters: whelks, cockles and other clams.

Vinification

Produced by the traditional method. When the harvests arrive, we press the grapes slowly using our pneumatic wine presses. Only the first presses are used to produce our wines. Malolactic fermentation takes place in our 100% stainless steel vats. Secondary fermentation, in the bottle (according to the traditional method), is carried out by adding yeasts and sugar. This is followed by 18 months of ageing on lees in our temperature-controlled cellars.
