This is the best Cremant we have ever tasted, and we have a few more cases due to arrive in December! One of the great winemakers in Burgundy, Anne Gros, makes some of the most prestigious wines out of the commune of Vosne-Romanee. Because these wines are part of the upper echelon of Burgundy, they also come with a considerable price tag, which can be hard to justify for most. However, there are some more reasonable bottles, like the La Fun en Bulles Cremant de Bourgogne, which, as the name states, is a fun little sparkler from Gros. Though this is less of a traditional take from Anne Gros, it's an elegant wine made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Aligoté from purchased fruit. It has excellent finesse and texture and is rather finely knit for a wine of this level. The Pinot Noir gives this a lovely richness, with the Chardonnay and Aligote giving it lovely lift and length. It has admirable attention to detail with beautiful notes of flowers, lemon, brioche, and chalky minerality. It's a newer cuvee from Anne Gros. It saw its debut in 2018 and is typically only available in Europe. However, we were able to get some for the USA, and right now, we have low pricing on some of the only bottles available. We can't think of a better cellar saver or daily drinker for Sparkling wine. This rivals some NV Champagnes and is the ultimate cellar saver for sparking wine!
