The elegance and purity of a great Crémant de Bourgogne

The estate

Drawing on a long-standing Champagne family tradition and thirty-five years of experience as an oenologist, Bruno Dangin founded his own estate in 2011. Located in Molesme, in Burgundy, France, the estate spans five hectares of vines cultivated according to organic farming principles. Today, the estate is jointly run by Bruno Dangin and his son Matthieu, who represents the fourth generation of winemakers in the family. Together, they craft high-quality artisanal sparkling wines, celebrated for their authentic expression of terroir.

The vineyard

This Crémant de Bourgogne comes exclusively from the historic plot known as "La Grande Côte", planted in the 1970s. Facing south and south-east for optimal sun exposure, these old vines thrive on clay-limestone soils dating back to the Jurassic period. The vineyard, certified organic since 2014, is cultivated using practices inspired by biodynamics. The grapes are harvested by hand to select only the finest bunches.

Winemaking and aging

The production of the Prestige de Narcès Extra Brut 2022 begins with gentle pressing, of which only the first press, the cuvée, is retained. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then fermented and aged in oak barrels, lending it great finesse. Finally, it undergoes bottle aging on the lees for fifteen months, allowing its aromatic richness to develop fully.
