LIVELY BUBBLES
“Crémant de Bordeaux” is one of the youngest Bordeaux appellations and has produced both white and rosé styles since the official AOC was first recognized in 1990. However, the production of sparkling wines in Bordeaux dates as far back as the early 19th century.
The harvest for crémant is exclusively manual. Common varieties for both styles include red grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Malbec and Petit Verdot, and white grapes such as Sémillon, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc.
Bubbly blends: Like many other Bordeaux wines, crémants are blends. All Bordeaux grape varieties, both red and white, are approved to produce crémant blanc and rosé. Try with seafood or tapas!
