Francois Martenot - Cremant de Bourgogne - Brut Rose 2018

"""Delicate bouquet with citrus and strawberry. The palate is lively, with notes of grapefruit and fresh bread. Rich and vibrant."""

Maison François Martenot has its origins at the beginning of the 20th century when Lucien Gustave Martenot acquired a 10 ha estate in Savigny-lès-Beaune. This domain was created in 1859 by Mr. Léonce Bocquet, then the sole owner of the Château du Clos Vougeot, and fervent defender of Burgundy and its cultural heritage. The domain then developed thanks to the acquisition of neighboring land and many works of planting vines and housing works were undertaken.

The base wines of the Cremant come from the different subdivisions of the Burgundy vineyards. Our base wines however are predominantly produced from the vines of the Côtes and Hautes Côtes of Beaune and Nuits and the Côtes Chalonnaise.

Traditional method. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. The fermentation is carried out in stainless steel vats at 18°C. The base wines are then assembled. Fermentation (second alcoholic fermentation) in bottles and maturing for 12 months ("Sur latte") before being put in gyropallets and disgorged to eliminate the deposit in the bottle. Addition of expedition liqueur before capping and muzzling.
