La Burgondie Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Noirs Brut

Vinum Lector Staff — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 07:54:58 +0000

“La Burgondie” was the historical region of France that gave rise to the term Burgundy. The legendary little knight character that appears on the bottles truly captures the essence of La Burgondie. Courageous, confident and loyal. A forward-thinking, like-minded group of individuals who are fiercely proud of their Burgundian roots, their beautiful region and their wines. The same wines, produced using environmentally friendly farming methods, which are evocative of the hard-working co-operative-winemaker families who give their all, and have done so for generations. The grapes for the elaboration of Crémant de Bourgogne come from different terroirs within the Burgundy vineyards. The plots dedicated to sparkling wines include mostly Pinot Noir - along with Chardonnay and Gamay. In the winter following the harvest the oenologist carries out the blending of the various wines produced from the multiple grape varieties and terroirs of Burgundy.

Trenel by M.Chapoutier Fleurie Cru de Beaujolais

Vinum Lector Staff — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 08:49:59 +0000

Maison Trenel has always sought authenticity for both its fruit liqueurs and its wines. Authenticity of the fruit, authenticity of the terroir. The purest expression of their origins. Born from a love of its land with its Burgundy traditions, there are numerous similarities between Maison Trenel and M. Chapoutier, their shared love of excellence being the first. The Fleurie appellation, located in the heart of the Beaujolais crus, is not a reference to the region's lush vegetation but to the name of the Roman legionary Fleurus. Yet, its wines are often described as the finest in Beaujolais. They do indeed possess a fleshy, silky texture and aromas of violet, rose, or iris, imparted by the sandy soils derived from pink granite in which the vines are planted.
