Discover the best wines made with Mourvèdre as a single variety or as a blend of Crémant de Bourgogne.
Powerful, deep reds with firm tannins and dense texture, showing aromas of blackberry, leather, garrigue, black pepper, liquorice and animal notes (game, forest floor) with age. Star of Bandol AOC as a single variety and pillar of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Costières blends. Also in GSM in Languedoc and Australia. A late-ripening variety of Spanish origin (Mataró/Monastrell).
Traditional-method sparkling, a direct alternative to Champagne. Fine, persistent bubbles, fresh nose of green apple, lemon, white flowers, brioche and almond, taut and elegant palate (9 months minimum on lees, often 12-24). Based on Chardonnay (freshness and finesse) and Pinot Noir (roundness and red fruits), sometimes Aligoté, Gamay and Melon. Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs and fleshy rosé versions (strawberry, raspberry).
