Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé Brut - Bailly Lapierre

A luminous rosé tone with a delicate copper sheen greets the eye, fine bubbles rise continuously in the glass. On the nose, Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé Brut - Bailly Lapierre unfolds an intense play of aromas of fresh strawberry, ripe raspberry and redcurrant. Subtle notes of rosehip, fresh yeast and a hint of citrus zest lend additional tension. On the palate, the mousseux is fine and persistent, the texture appears silky and elegant.

The fruit aromas continue on the palate and are reminiscent of juicy red berries, accompanied by a hint of pink grapefruit and delicate floral nuances. The lively acidity lends freshness and firmness, while the Brut-style dosage ensures a precise, dry impression without heaviness. Delicate tannins from the red grapes trace a fine contour and give the sparkling wine subtle grip on the finish. The aftertaste is animating, fruit-driven and marked by a mineral character.

Production of Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé Brut - Bailly Lapierre

The home of this sparkling wine lies in Burgundy, more precisely around Saint-Bris-le-Vineux. Limestone and marl soils shape the vines here, storing warmth during the day and gently releasing it at night. The moderately cool climate ensures a long ripening period for the grapes, allowing a balanced sugar-acid ratio and intense aromas to develop. Gamay and Pinot Noir grow in carefully selected parcels whose sites offer ideal conditions for rosé base wines.

The harvest is selective; grapes for high-quality Crémant reach the cellar only at optimal ripeness. Gentle hand-picking protects the delicate berries from oxidation and unwanted color extraction. After brief contact with the berry skins, the delicate rosé tone develops, and then careful pressing follows. Clear musts form the basis for a fresh, fruit-driven base wine with an elegant structure.

The first fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fine berry aromas. This is followed by traditional bottle fermentation, the heart of Crémant production. This is where the natural mousseux, the fine perlage that defines the style of this sparkling wine, is created. During maturation on the lees, the wine gains in complexity, creaminess and depth without losing its freshness.

The style of the Bailly Lapierre estate stands for clarity, precision and Burgundian elegance. Every stage of production aims at harmony between fruit, structure and perlage. The Brut dosage emphasizes the dry character while at the same time highlighting the red berry aromas. This carefully balanced vinification results in a rosé Crémant that delights equally as an aperitif and as a companion to food.
