Domaine Theulot-Juillot Crémant de Bourgogne Brut is a distinctive sparkling Burgundy produced entirely from Pinot Noir grown in Mercurey.
The domaine created its first Crémant in 2004 and deliberately chose to produce a Blanc de Noirs, giving the wine greater body and personality while retaining freshness and finesse.
The Pinot Noir brings subtle red-fruit aromatics and attractive volume to the palate, while very low dosage preserves purity and freshness.
An excellent choice for anyone looking for a characterful, traditionally made sparkling Burgundy with genuine domaine provenance.
