Louis Bouillot, Perle de Vigne, Grande Réserve Brut, Crémant de Bourgogne

Perle de Vigne illustrates the richness of the Burgundy terroir and the skill of the Louis Bouillot wine house in the art of blending. With a fruity, floral nose, and a full, lively mouth, its aromas reflect all the deliciousness of Burgundy fruit, represented by the four regional varietals: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Aligoté and Gamay. Perle de Vigne is the company’s emblematic cuvée, a finely crafted wine, ideal for all occasions. There is a lovely clarity to its pale yellow color with hints of green. The nose is complex, starting with fruit perfumes before evolving to floral notes. The attack is crisp and forthright, with the roundness of red berries, the vivacity of a citrus touch, before an elegant finish, making this a vigorous and generous Crémant de Bourgogne, perfect for an off-the-cuff aperitif or to accompany the most refined of dishes. Easy going combinations: Aperitifs, grilled fish or seasonal vegetables, or seafood. The grapes come from an appellation d’origine contrôlée area in Burgundy and were picked by hand before gentle pressing. The separate handling of the juice results in quality musts. After cold settling, alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature controlled vats. Malolactic fermentation is deliberately stopped to preserve the rich, fruity style of Perle de Vigne. After the bubbles have been formed in the bottle, ageing on laths for more than 12 months allows Louis Boillot’s flagship cuvée to reach the peak of expression.
