Tasting note
Benjamin Darnault's 2015 Vigneron's Wife Crémant de Bourgogne Brut should offer lemon, crisp apple and a faint floral lift. Chardonnay gives it an expectedly fine, refreshing shape, with delicate bubbles lightening the palate and acidity drawing the citrus into a clean line. The projected window ended in 2024, placing the wine beyond its expected span. Bottle condition will be decisive; if freshness persists, expect a dry finish of orchard fruit and lemon zest.
