The Cremant de Bourgogne Rosé Grande Cuvée from Maison Veuve Ambal comes from a blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay and Chardonnay grapes that are harvested manually and then individually subjected to the soft pressing and fermentation phase. After a few months of refinement, only the best vins clairs are chosen which will then give life to the definitive cuvée. According to the Classic Method or Champenoise, a second fermentation on the yeasts takes place for about 15 months, before passing to the degorgement.

Suggested food pairings while tasting this Cremant de Bourgogne
Particularly suitable as a combination with fish-based dishes such as tartare, hot appetizers, sushi and sashimi. Serve at a temperature of 6-8°C in the characteristic balloon flute glass, ideal for champagne and classic method sparkling wines as it amplifies the aromas of the product while maintaining its perlage.
