Visit and Tasting DE Crémants DE Bourgogne 1h45

About this tour

Spend just under two hours at a Burgundy sparkling wine producer learning how Crémant is made using traditional méthode champenoise techniques. Walk through the cellar to see each stage—from pressing grapes through to the final disgorging process—then taste the full range of the house's Crémants. You'll leave understanding why these bottles rival their Champagne cousins and knowing exactly what goes into each one.

Highlights

• See grapes transformed into sparkling wine, step by step
• Learn traditional bottle-fermentation and aging techniques
• Taste multiple Crémants de Bourgogne side by side
• Access working production cellars and facilities
• Fully wheelchair accessible throughout cellar and tasting areas

What to expect

After a brief introduction, you'll follow your guide into the cellars to witness how Crémant de Bourgogne earns its reputation. You'll see the pressing line, watch how wine sits in bottles to develop bubbles, observe the riddling racks where bottles are gradually tilted, and learn about the disgorging step that removes sediment. It's hands-on and direct—no flowery language, just the real mechanics of sparkling wine production. Afterwards, you'll return to taste through the producer's current range, comparing different styles and vintages. The whole experience sits comfortably under two hours, leaving time to ask questions.

Good to know

Cellars stay cool year-round; bring a light layer. The visit involves some walking on uneven cellar floors, though wheelchair access is available. Children are welcome, and prams fit through doorways. Public transport stops nearby if you're not driving.
