Albert Sounit’s Cuv\u00e9e Prestige breaks the sound barrier of what should be possible for a Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne!
\nAn incredibly elegant alternative to Champagne. Lots of apple core, citrus, and a hint of rye porridge. Clean and razor-sharp on the palate with a beautiful and dancing acid attack.<\/p>\n
A rather intense and well-developed fruit nose with lovely ripeness and crisp herbal spice. Beautiful craftsmanship with lots of finesse and remarkable detail. Rounded, crisp, and aromatic fruit with pronounced delicacy and immediate charm. Crafted in the style of Champagne.<\/p>\n
In this dry Cr\u00e9mant from Burgundy, Pinot Meunier is replaced with Aligot\u00e9. This gives an extra fresh dimension to the light and acidic fruits, delivering a concentrated and delicious flavor of light apples and citrus that blend wonderfully with the classic French sparkling style. We\u2019re on the dry side here, but thanks to the varied fruit expressions, it’s still full-bodied and pleasant.<\/p>\n

From a Danish wine pioneer\u2019s winery in Burgundy<\/p>\n
Maison Albert Sounit is located in a more than 150-year-old wine estate in Rully, Burgundy, whose beautiful wine cellars were among the original sites for Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne production. The Danish wine pioneer Knud Kjellerup took over the company in 1993, and since then, together with his two partners and the estate\u2019s team, has worked tirelessly to set new standards for quality in the C\u00f4te Chalonnaise.<\/p>\n
How this Cr\u00e9mant is made<\/p>\n
The house’s Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne Cuv\u00e9e Prestige is made exclusively from grapes grown at Sounit\u2019s own estate, Domaine Bernollin, consisting of approximately 65% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 5% Aligot\u00e9. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using native yeasts. The wine\u2019s fine and persistent bubbles come from the second fermentation, which takes place in the bottle \u2013 M\u00e9thode Traditionnelle \u2013 and the Cr\u00e9mant is aged on the lees for more than 24 months before disgorgement, the process of removing the lees. The law requires Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne to age at least 9 months before disgorgement, and thanks to the nearly three times longer aging, Albert Sounit\u2019s Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne Cuv\u00e9e Prestige boasts a very fine and lasting mousse. At disgorgement, a small dosage (0.5%) is added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
