NV Henri Champliau Crémant de Bourgogne Brut “Authentique”, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THE WINE

The NV Brut “Authentique” from Henri Champliau is a classic Crémant de Bourgogne crafted to showcase both Burgundian finesse and vibrant drinkability. Produced using the méthode traditionnelle, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle, developing complexity and texture while maintaining lively freshness.

Sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites across Burgundy, the wine balances bright orchard fruit and citrus character with subtle autolytic notes gained through lees aging. Aromas of pear, apple blossom, and fresh pastry lead into a palate marked by crisp acidity, elegant mousse, and a mineral-driven core. The restrained dosage preserves the wine’s purity and energetic character, making it exceptionally versatile at the table.

Elegant and approachable, the Brut “Authentique” is ideal as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with oysters, soft cheeses, smoked salmon, fried appetizers, or light poultry dishes.
