Crémant is the rest of France’s answer to the sparkling wine category that is dominated by Champagne. It is made using the same traditional bottle fermentation method as Champagne but produced across regions beyond Champagne itself. From Burgundy and Alsace to the Loire Valley and Limoux, these wines reflect local grapes and terroir while delivering fine bubbles and a creamy, refined texture.
Styles vary by origin, but expect freshness balanced with subtle complexity. Notes of citrus, orchard fruit, and gentle brioche are common, shaped by varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Chenin Blanc, and Pinot Blanc. Elegant without excess, Crémant is equally at home as an aperitif or alongside food.
