Veuve Ambal Cremant de Bourgogne Millesime Brut

Winemaker Veuve Ambal on the winery

“Our winery was founded in 1898 by Marie Ambal, one of the pioneers of sparkling wine production in Burgundy. Veuve Ambal has since grown into a family business with a long tradition of making Crémant de Bourgogne. We oversee the entire process, from selecting the grapes to ageing the wines in our cellars. By combining craftsmanship with modern techniques, we create sparkling wines that express the freshness and elegance of Burgundy.”

And on Burgundy, France

“For our Millésimé, we use grapes exclusively from a single vintage. The blend brings together Burgundy’s four classic grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Aligoté and Gamay. After manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and each variety is fermented separately in stainless steel tanks. We then compose the final blend before the second fermentation takes place in bottle using the traditional method. The wine ages on its lees for at least eighteen months. This gives the fine bubbles added finesse and develops aromas of ripe apple, pear, citrus and toasted bread.”
