Description
What kind of wine it is
Cruse Blanc de Blancs Brut is a refined Traditional Method sparkling wine that expresses the purity of Chardonnay. It appears a straw yellow colour, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet releases fresh citrus notes, combined with hints of white-fleshed fruit and bread crust. On the palate, it reveals a complex and enveloping structure, where liveliness blends with elegant accents of apricot and white peach. The persistent finish makes it an excellent aperitif, ideal for accompanying shellfish, fish dishes and delicate starters.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Burgundy, a region of France historically renowned for the cultivation of Chardonnay. The Vin Mousseux de France Blanc de Blancs designation attests to the exclusive use of white grapes. Cruse carefully selects the fruit to ensure a fresh flavour profile that faithfully reflects its territorial origin. The connection with this wine-growing area emerges in a texture of fine and numerous bubbles, capable of enhancing a distinctly dry character, with a linear and clean profile.
How it is produced
Production begins with a cold pressing and continues with low-temperature fermentation, two essential steps to preserve the natural aromatic qualities of Chardonnay. The prise de mousse follows the strictures of the Traditional Method, through a bottle fermentation lasting six months. This careful technical process shapes the balance of the Brut, integrating citrus aromas with delicate notes of white fruit. The result is a harmonious sip, able to combine liveliness with structural refinement.
