Recognized in 1975, the appellation crémant-de-bourgogne replaced the Sparkling wines whose quality was not very homogeneous. Its geographical area, very vast, covers more than 300 communes, of Châtillonnais, with the borders of Champagne auboise, with Beaujolais included. The AOC imposes conditions of harvest and elaboration as strict as those of the Champagne region and copied on this one, the difference residing in the duration of Maturation on lees, which is of nine months minimum, against twelve for the champagne. The Grape varieties used also bring Crémant-de-Bourgogne closer to its illustrious Champagne model, for although all the varieties of the region can be used, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are favoured.
The white Crémant-de-Bourgogne can be blanc de blancs (made from chardonnay, blended or not with Aligoté), blanc de noirs (made from pinot noir vinified as white); it can also be a blend of white grapes and pinot noir and/or gamay vinified as white. The rosé is based on pinot noir, sometimes married to gamay. The Finesse of the blanc de blancs, the Power of the blancs de noirs, the delicacy of the rosés, the crémants-de-bourgogne offer varied profiles.

This may seem like excessive haste, given the scope of the book, but it is astonishing how rapidly changes can take place in the region. Burgundy, in contrast, is relatively stable, since most properties are family-owned and tend to stay that way. But not so in Bordeaux, where there are ample opportunities for newcomers to acquire established properties, as they have been doing ...
