Details
There's so much more to great French sparkling beyond the world of Champagne. We only need to go an hour south to hit the Burgundian vineyards used by Celine and Frederic Gueguen to make this beautiful organic fizz. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it's a copper-edged sparkling wine that goes on and on! All lemon citrus then red fruit and strawberry notes, before by a creamy, slightly nutty finish.

Celine Brocard and Frederic Brocard are the new generation of an ancient place. They are Domaine Gueguen in the Chablis region of France. Fabulous white wines is what they do, making whites that reflect their 'spot'. Celine is known as 'Jean Marc Brocard's daughter', but we reckon she is carving a name for herself with her incredible wines of a relatively new domaine, Gueguen. Established less than a decade ago, the vineyards are located around the town of Chablis's St Bris. Here the soils are limestone and Kimmeridgian, and okay, what does that mean you ask? Well, its all about the vineyards and their glorious ancient minerality. They're a strange addiction of sorts, as nothing else in the world imparts such distinct character quite like these chalky soils do. You'll find yourself wanting to seek them out. Celine and Frederic Gueguen don't play around with oak so much. They like to keep things modern and fresh, with the wines gaining detail and direction from the perfect ripeness in the vineyard, and allowing the wine to spend a little time on lees in stainless steel. For about six months. That's how they do it. Not much else to it, just pure, clean, and modern winemaking, while at the same time still being true to origin. They are very respectful and representative of their terroir, you know, the spots on which their grapes are grown.

Pairing guide
Elegant and toasty, the Blanc de Noirs Crémant is all about red apple, brioche, and mineral finesse. It’s a luxurious partner for pâté, charcuterie, smoked salmon, or even fried chicken (trust us—bubbles + crunch = magic). For a French twist, try it with gougères, a creamy mushroom vol-au-vent, or a triple cream cheese. It has enough body to handle savoury richness but stays bright and fresh on the finish. It’s a celebration in a bottle—but also just really good Tuesday night wine.

Wine region
Burgundy, France
Burgundy is located east between Paris and the Swiss border and is known for producing some of the finest and most sought-after wines (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) in the world. The region can be divided into the following sub-regions from north to south: Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais, with parts Beaujolais to the south now under consideration. Chablis is located north of the Côte d'Or and is known for its crisp, dry white wines made from Chardonnay, made without the influence of oak. Some of the best domaines in Chablis include William Fèvre and Christian Moreau. The Côte d'Or is the heart of the Burgundy wine region and is divided into two main areas: the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. The Côte de Nuits is known for its red wines, while the Côte de Beaune is known for its white wines. The best domaines in the Côte d'Or include Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Georges Roumier! Mâconnais and often overlooked Côte Chalonnaise produces red and white wines.
