Friends brought this lovely, well-priced, crisp Crémant de Bourgogne to our home for a wine-filled weekend and we really enjoyed it as one of the afternoon sippers with munchies.

For fans of Cava and Prosecco, Crémant de Bourgogne is a great option, at a similar price point. I enjoy the warm biscuit and lemony flavors, typical of Chardonnay, this Crémant showcased. Lovely acidity also. Nice find for under $25.

In the glass: Pale straw yellow

Aromas (nose): Ripe pear and Meyer lemon aromas with baked bread notes.

Flavors (palate): Juicy green apply with citrus and nutty notes.

Texture/finish: Creamy mouthfeel, fine mousse with a medium finish

Pairings: Seafood, fish, grilled chicken

Wine type: Sparkling wine

Grape: Chardonnay

Region: Burgundy, France

Cost: $25

Adding the Cave de Lugny Cremant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs to my repertoire.

Cheers, Veronique
