Picamelot – Crémant de Bourgogne Terroirs Brut

Located in the village of Rully, Côte Châlonnaise, Maison Louis Picamelot is an iconic and historic producer, specialized in the production of sparkling wines Crémants de Bourgogne. Picamelot was among the first ones to release a ‘Bourgogne Mousseux’ back in the 30’s. The estate encompasses 22 hectares of vineyards (organically farmed) planted in chardonnay and pinot noir. Two thirds are located in the Côte de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Beaune, more specifically in Saint Aubin between Puligny Montrachet andChassagne Montrachet where the cuvées Les Reipes and En Chazot come from.
Picamelot remains a small quality driven family owned estate with a production of about 250 000 bottles a year. Aside of the estate wines, Picamelot shares its savoir-faire with various local wine producers and signs the production on their behalf.

Organic. 40% chardonnay (from Côte de Beaune), 40% Pinot Noir (Côte de Nuits), 20% Aligoté (Côte Châlonnaise). Hand harvested in small crates. Vinified separately, then blended for the ‘‘prise de mousse’’ and aged on lees for 12 months. RS: 7g/l

Elements of limestone and seashell surround notes of baked lemons and pears that open to stone-fruit compote, cloves, heather and toffee; it’s surprisingly dense and viscous on the palate, gathering an array of mineral-tinged textural elements and glimpses of yellow fruit that neatly balance bright acidity with a slightly creamy nature.
