LOUIS LORON & FILS Crémant de Bourgogne Ambition brut

Luminous, pale yellow robe, fine effervescence. A well-rounded wine that invites us to a sensual, aromatic waltz that is generous and elegant. Chardonnay, the unique variety in the batch, opens with subtle citrus aromas, ripe pears, apple and apricot. Later, the crémant begins to ripen, revealing warm honey scents, the result of 24 months of aging on bottle racks before disgorging. A pure attack on the palate, due to the strict selection of the best juices as well as the absence of dosage. Roasted notes, like brioche, develop on the palate during the tasting, thanks to aging in barrels for 9 months. A dense and deliciously mineral finish.

Description and Characteristics

Crémant de Bourgogne Ambition brut LOUIS LORON & FILS

Designation

The AOC label requires harvesting and production conditions as strict as those in the Champagne region.

Winemaking and growing

Grapes are specially selected and made into wine. They are harvested earlier than for still wines, in order to maintain the fresh acidity that characterizes the Crémant de Bourgogne. Effervescence is produced by adding the liqueur d'expédition (wine from the batch+sugar+yeast) when bottling. It causes a second alcoholic fermentation which releases carbonic gas that produces bubbles. Bottles are then placed on racks, tilted down. Then they are the object of regular, manual or mechanical operations. The final step, corking, takes place after disgorgement (elimination of the sediment and impurities) without the addition of a liqueur d'expédition or dosage.
