Henri Champliau is a family-owned sparkling wine producer in Mercurey, located in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. The company was founded by Alexandre Graffard in 2016, who named the winery after his grandfather, who held deep admiration for the terroir and craftsmanship of Burgundy.
Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Authentique is produced with 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, vinified separately in small lots before assemblage and 15 months of aging sur latte. “I call the wine ‘Authentique’ because of the Pinot Noir,” says Alexandre, “Pinot Noir is the identity of Henri Champliau.”
Winemaker Notes
Fine bubbles, delicate notes of red fruit on the nose, a precise and fruity mouth, which surprises with its finesse, its persistence and its freshness.
96 Points Decanter
Intense citrus, peach, custard apple and toasted brioche aromas with a lush, creamy textured mousse and a mouthwateringly vibrant acidity. Long, crisp, zesty and luxurious.
