Victorine de Chastenay
Crémant de Bourgogne made from Côte d'Or grapes and aged for nearly two years.
Their story
Victorine de Chastenay makes Crémant de Bourgogne, Burgundy's traditional-method sparkling wine, with a twist on where the grapes come from. Most Crémants rely on fruit from the Mâconnais, Beaujolais or Côte Chalonnaise, but this label draws on the Côte d'Or, from vineyards in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune.
For a long time Crémant was an afterthought for many Burgundy producers. Victorine de Chastenay treats it with more care, offering a Brut white and a Brut Rosé made entirely from Pinot Noir. The wines come to the United States through the importer Skurnik Wines & Spirits.
How it's made
The grapes are sustainably farmed in the Côte d'Or. The base wines are made in tank to keep the region's freshness and minerality, then rest on the lees for about 20 months before release, well past the 12-month minimum.
Why we carry them
We think this is one of the best ways to drink Burgundy on a weeknight budget. The rosé is a crowd-pleaser for brunch or a toast.
