PRODUCT HISTORY
Produced from a single year’s harvest, our Crémant de Bourgogne Millésimé 2022 reflects the richness of a sunny vintage, while remaining true to the balance of the Veuve Ambal style. In our range, it embodies the ambition to express both the house signature and the nuances of a specific vintage. 2022 stands out for its tension and structure, revealed through long maturation on laths.
Designed for curious wine lovers and fine dining, to match the dishes we like to share, for bistronomy, aperitif lunches and dinners.

Foaming and ageing
Liqueur de tirage (a mixture of yeast and sugar) and leaven are added to the wines before bottling. Under the action of the yeast, carbon dioxide generates effervescence. The bottles remain on laths for a minimum of 18 months at constant temperature in our cellars. This prolonged ageing allows the wine to develop its specific aromas and to offer bubbles of great finesse. The bottles are then stirred and disgorged to remove any yeast deposits. A dosage-determining expedition liqueur is added before labeling.

Winemaking
On receipt of the harvest, we carry out slow pressing using our pneumatic presses. The first pressings, richer and more complex, are selected to produce the best base wines. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After vinification, our team of oenologists meticulously composes the blend.
