Founded in 1926, the Maison Louis Picamelot is today one of the oldest Crémant houses in Burgundy, and without a doubt the most distinguished. Philippe Chautard, Louis Picamelot’s grandson and the present owner has dedicated the house to a level of excellence unheard of in the world of Cremants. As late as 1991, the house was buying 100% of the grapes they used. Between 2007 and 2011, to ensure control over the quality of the grapes, they acquired just over 10 hectares of vines located in the Côte Chalonnaise and the Côte de Beaune.
Vivid green/gold in color with generous and persistent tiny bubbles with fresh & inviting aromas suggesting white flower, citrus zest, toast & orchard fruits. Fresh, vibrant & expansive mousse that spreads itself on the palate with flavors of toasted bread, green pear, apricot & honeyed citrus. Delicious & unpretentious bubbles made from 100% Chardonnay. This Blanc de Blancs is our favorite sub $20 sparkler.
