Presentation
This new brand pays tribute to an emblematic figure in the history of France and our region, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Like this elegant, ambitious woman, the bubbles in our Crémant de Bordeaux are fine and delicate. "L'Éclat" draws a parallel between Eleanor's radiant celebrity and the light, lively and gentle bubbles of our two cuvées.
Location
Crémants de Bordeaux are white or rosé sparkling wines. Coming from the Entre Deux Mers region, the characteristics of these wines are strongly linked to their terroir as well as the temperate maritime climate of the region. Situated between the Garonne and the Dordogne, the crémant vineyards benefit from a high level of humidity, essential for their production according to the méthode champenoise.
Winemaking
Picking is done by hand. All the fruit is transported from the vineyard to the press using small crates. The different production steps follow the méthode champenoise: pressing, first fermentation, second fermentation in bottle, ageing, riddling, disgorging and dosage to obtain a sugar level of 10 g/l.
