A very credible Champagne alternative with a fine mousse, Domaine Désiré Petit Crémant du Jura Brut is rich, floral and deeply satisfying.

Production

Domaine de Désiré Petit’s Crémant is made using the ‘methode traditionelle’, from Chardonnay purposely grown on poor soils to maintain good acidity in the wine. Bottling is generally carried out during the January to March following harvest, after which the wine spends 12 to 15 months on its lees before disgorgement and dosage of 0.6cl per litre.

Tasting Notes

Made solely from Chardonnay, this is a serious and elegant Crémant du Jura. On the nose it is creamy; on the palate well balanced with good depth and classic Champagne-esque toasted brioche flavours and creamy notes evident again, giving this complex wine an appealing softness. As would be the case with a classic Champagne, this crémant works perfectly as an apéritif but is also well suited to shellfish and fish dishes.
