Domaine Manciat-Poncet is a result of the merger of two family-owned estates: the Manciats in Charnay-lès-Mâcon and the Poncet family in Vergisson, in the appellation of Pouilly-Fuissé. The vines are all aged between 40 and 60 years and the wines display lovely depth, elegance and floral notes procured from this mature vine selection

This Manciat-Poncet Cremant de Bourgogne is produced using the Méthode Traditionnelle, this results in an amazing sparkling wine, that certainly gives Champagne a run for its money. This French non-vintage sparkling wine is made in Burgundy and therefore called Crémant de Bourgogne. It's made from a beautiful blend of 30% chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 20% Gamay and 20% Aligoté, a traditional Burgundian white grape.

"This Crémant de Bourgogne presents itself like a bright smile. Its fine, regular bubbles rise unhurriedly, as if they first want to take the measure of the glass. On the nose, a clean freshness, never strident. One encounters green apple, pear, a hint of lemon zest, then a touch of white flower that arrives quietly. Next comes a light, brioche-like nuance, hinting at careful aging. On the palate, the wine moves forward with precision and vigor. The attack is lively, almost invigorating, then the mid-palate gains in breadth, supported by a structure that doesn't try to impress. The fruit remains in control. The pear returns, riper, accompanied by a touch of fresh almond. The fine bubbles act as punctuation, rhythmically guiding the tasting without disrupting it. A discreet salinity lengthens the finish, giving it that little something extra so characteristic of good sparkling Burgundies. This Crémant is a wine that loves the table but also appreciates being enjoyed on its own. Serve at 10°C. An excellent choice as an aperitif, or to accompany oysters, Caesar salad, crab cakes, salmon tart, cheese soufflé, roast lobster, or langoustines."
