Jean-Noel Gagnard Grand Lys Cremant De Bourgogne Extra Brut '20

The Jean-Noël Gagnard Crémant de Bourgogne "Grand Lys" Extra Brut is a refined Blanc de Noirs produced in Chassagne-Montrachet. It is frequently cited as a high-value alternative to Champagne due to its precision and terroir-driven depth. An intricate bouquet led by delicate red fruits like wild strawberry and raspberry, layered with citrus zest (lemon and grapefruit). As the wine opens, it reveals autolytic notes of brioche, toasted nuts, and a hint of white flowers. Crisp and precise with a fine, persistent mousse. It shows a distinct tension between vibrant acidity and a creamy, polished texture. Long and clean, marked by a characteristic Burgundian minerality and stony undertones.
