Bernard Richel, Crémant de Savoie Brut
Bernard Richel, Crémant de Savoie Brut
Price: 10,83€
DESCRIPTION
Located in Saint-Baldoph, the Richel Family cultivates its vines on the mountainous terroirs near Apremont. This Crémant de Savoie is the sparkling expression of the family's know-how, honoring Jacquère, the region's emblematic grape variety, which lends itself wonderfully to secondary fermentation thanks to its natural freshness.
Crafted according to the traditional method (second fermentation in the bottle), this Crémant benefits from aging on laths, which refines its bubbles and develops its aromatic complexity. The estate prioritizes finesse and elegance, seeking to produce a light and ethereal sparkling wine rather than a vinous one.
Upon tasting, it is a Crémant full of freshness and finesse. Its light and mineral palate leaves the fruit prominently present, with delicate notes of fresh hazelnut and white flowers. It brings a beautiful balance to the whole, perfect for the aperitif or to accompany grilled fish.
REGION
Savoie
France
Savoie is a mountainous French wine region near the Swiss border. The region is highly fragmented by its mountain terrain. The cool climate of Savoie explains why lively white wines dominate production. Although reds struggle to ripen in this kind of climate, Savoie is the home of Mondeuse, a red grape used to make wines with a marked bitterness.
Recommended for you:
A great alternative to Champagne. It's very fine, light, and it goes down easily at the aperitif.
