Louis Bouillot Perle d'Aurore Rosé Crémant de Bourgogne NV
Burgundy, FranceBouillot was an early adopter of the sparkling Bourgogne market and has made wine for nearly 150 years. The blend is pinot noir, gamay, and chardonnay sourced from the Côte d'Or and the Maçonnais. It spends 12 months on its lees to add depth and complexity to a fresh, light, bright rosé sparkler full of cherry, berry, and grapefruit acidity. A fun summer sipper on the patio with tapas. Good value.Tasted: 10 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Burgundy, FranceFounded in 1877, Bouillot was one of the first to experiment with the crafting of sparkling Bourgogne. This blends pinot noir, gamay, and chardonnay from across the Cote d'Or and the Maçonnais, before twelve months on the lees. Punchy and forward cherry, raspberry, pear blossoms are housed with lightly grippy tannins and laced with tart pink grapefruit acidity. What this lacks in grace, it makes up for in power, so partner with savour french toast, or grilled root veg salads.Tasted: 05 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Burgundy, FranceI'm a fan of this simplified sparkler made from an 80/20 mix of pinot noir and gamay. The nose is bright and fresh with citrus, mineral cherry fruit notes mixed with an attractive yeasty note. The mousse is light but persistent with very fresh acidity, cherry, strawberry, anise and citrus/lees flavours. Fun, fresh, bright and affordable a great introduction to French sparkling wine.Tasted: 11 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:
