Description

Allow me to introduce you to a sparkling jewel from the heart of Burgundy: the Cuvée Kryslin Crémant de Bourgogne Brut from Maison Hamelin, a winery with a legacy dating back to 1840. This is not just another bottle of bubbles; it's an invitation to experience the finesse and elegance that define the Crémant de Bourgogne appellation. Crafted from a meticulous blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Aligoté – the holy trinity of Burgundian grapes – this Crémant is a testament to the winery's unwavering commitment to quality.

What sets this sparkling wine apart is its meticulous production method. It's made using the same 'méthode traditionelle' as Champagne, ensuring fine bubbles and complex aromas. The 'Brut' designation signals a dry style, with just enough sweetness to balance the crisp acidity. On the nose, expect an enchanting bouquet of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, mingled with delicate floral notes and hints of freshly baked brioche – a signature of extended aging on its lees. On the palate, the Cuvée Kryslin displays a refreshing effervescence, a creamy texture, and a long, elegant finish. This Crémant de Bourgogne is incredibly versatile at the table. Its lively acidity and delicate fruit flavors make it the perfect aperitif, awakening your palate and preparing you for the meal to come. It pairs beautifully with oysters, sushi, and other seafood delicacies. The wine's subtle complexity also complements richer dishes such as creamy chicken vol-au-vents or even a classic Croque Monsieur. If you're seeking something unexpected, try it with a plate of Comté cheese – the nutty, savory flavors will create a harmonious synergy. The Hamelin family has been crafting wines in Burgundy for generations, and their passion for terroir is evident in every sip of this Crémant. They carefully select grapes from the best vineyards in the region, ensuring that only the highest quality fruit makes it into the bottle. The result is a wine that truly reflects the unique character of Burgundy. This wine is best served chilled, between 6-8°C, and can be enjoyed immediately. No need to age, but the bubbles are so fantastic and nice, that you should definitely share this bottle of Cuvée Kryslin Crémant de Bourgogne Brut with friends and family. For about 18 euros, you get an expression and quality in the glass, which other producers can't offer. This one is truly an outstanding wine and has become one of my favorites.
