You might associate Bordeaux with red wines, but their sparkling wines are worth uncovering; much rarer, but equally as fine. This Crémant is crafted by a small family grower, made in the same way as Champagne, but uses the local grape varieties of Merlot, Sémillon and Muscadelle. It is aged in cellars for up to 24 months before release, where during this time it acquires a new, richer character for you to enjoy and savour. Julien Barthazac Crémant de Bordeaux is brilliantly versatile as it will charm the palate with seafood starters, or desserts such as a lemon tart.
