Gilles & Romain Collet Cremant De Bourgogne Brut Sparkling Wine
The Gilles & Romain Collet Crémant de Bourgogne Brut is a vibrant sparkler from Burgundy that exudes elegance and clarity. This Crémant de Bourgogne is a refined Blanc de Blancs—bright, fresh, and finely textured. Expect citrus zest, white-fleshed fruit, gentle spice, and creamy finesse that rival many Champagnes—at a more accessible price point.
Origin & Winemaking
-
Produced by Jean Collet & Fils, with Gilles and Romain representing the new generation. The grapes are 100% Chardonnay, hand-harvested from estate vineyards on the Villy plateau.
-
Made in the traditional méthode champenoise, with a minimum of 24 months' aging on the lees in bottle plus an additional 9 months post-disgorgement for added richness.
Sensory Profile
-
Appearance: Brilliant and luminous straw yellow, with a persistent, elegant mousse.
-
Aroma: Fresh and expressive—white-fleshed fruit, citrus, and delicate spice layered with hints of white pepper, nutmeg, and subtle brioche.
-
Palate & Texture: Fresh and creamy with exceptional finesse. The mousse is fine and delicate; the palate delivers lively acidity, balanced creaminess, and terroir-driven depth.
-
Style Reveal: More aligned with Champagne in texture and complexity than many Crémants, offering outstanding value and nuance.
Additional Character Notes
-
Terroir: Crafted from Chardonnay grapes grown on oyster-marls in Villy—a terroir shared with Chablis—lending a mineral backbone to this sparkling.
