NV Bailly-Lapierre Cremant de Bourgogne Pinot Noir Brut

A “Blanc de Noirs”, this is Bailly Lapierre’s hallmark wine –a white made from black Pinot Noir grapes. In our villages, we love to make our sparkle and bubbles from this great variety which is so wonderfully at home here. A Crémant of great character, its style full, deep and powerful, with a fruitiness in the mouth that conjures up a red.

Full bodied and rich with red fruits and crisp acidity, this wine, made from 100% Pinot Noir, shows a ripe character and a firm texture. Its bright fruit and tight texture will open up to offer a lovely wine for near-term enjoyment.

I like the wild strawberry and orange peel notes here, with some bread crust undertones. It’s juicy and fruity with a medium body and gentle bubbles.
