Paul Delane MAGNUM Blanc de Noirs Cremant de Bourgogne 150 cl 12%

Crémant de Bourgogne is Burgundy's answer to Champagne - made using the same method, but at a far more affordable price - and this edition from Paul Delane comes in the celebratory magnum format.

Expert's Description

Paul Delane MAGNUM Blanc de Noirs is a Sparkling Wine from Burgundy, France, made from Pinot Noir with an alcohol content of 12%. The wine carries the designation Crémant de Bourgogne AOC, an appellation that requires the same method as Champagne - Traditional Method with secondary fermentation in bottle - but from grapes grown in Burgundy. As a Blanc de Noirs, the dark Pinot Noir grapes are gently pressed to extract only the pale juice, and the 150cl magnum format gives the wine extra time to develop slowly and elegantly in bottle.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Red berries, brioche and a hint of hazelnut on the nose.

Palate

Fresh and round on the palate with fine bubbles and good body.

Finish

The finish is clean with a hint of red fruit.

Serving & Food Pairing

Serve well chilled at 6-8°C in a Champagne glass. Pairs well as an aperitif, with charcuterie or light starters - ideal for celebrations, as the magnum stretches to many guests.
