🏰 The 2022 François Mikulski Crémant de Bourgogne is a 【refined sparkling wine designed as a true alternative to Champagne】, offering character, authenticity, and a gastronomic profile. Crafted in the traditional method, this cuvée embodies a crisp, dry style with a focus on purity, tension, and length. It presents a pale, luminous straw color with fine, persistent bubbles. The expressive nose reveals notes of green apple, pear, citrus zest, white flowers, fresh brioche, almond, and a light chalky minerality. On the palate, it's brisk and lively with firm acidity, delicate texture, and subtle pastry notes, leading to a long, clean, and saline finish. This Crémant is a blend primarily of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with potential small additions of Aligoté and Gamay, aged on lees for at least 18 months. 🍴 This versatile sparkling wine pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, seafood platters, fine fish dishes, ceviche, sashimi, poultry in cream sauce, goat's cheeses, mild cow's milk cheeses, aperitif canapés, tempura, vegetable tempuras, light tapas, creamy cheese, pickles, marinades, oven-baked white meats, and stewed dishes. 🥂 Ideal as an elegant aperitif, for celebrations, refined dinners, or any moment calling for a precise and characterful sparkling wine.
