Wine Details
A Sparkle Two Centuries in the Making
This Crémant Éminent glides in with fine, elegant bubbles and the clarity you only get from 100% Chardonnay grown in a cool Savigny vineyard. Lemon blossom, crisp pear, and white peach lead the way, followed by a gentle pastry note from its 24 months resting on the lees. It feels poised and quietly luxurious, the kind of sparkling wine that makes a simple moment feel like an occasion. Savigny freshness meets Burgundian finesse in a glass that hums with purity.
📍 The Plot
The Chardonnay comes from a single, carefully farmed site in Savigny les Beaune, where cooler air and limestone soils give the base wine its brightness and drive. The Éminent classification signals patience: two full years of lees ageing to build texture without dulling the wine’s energy. It’s a snapshot of Savigny through a sparkling lens.
🏛 A 200-Year Family Story
The Jessiaume family have been rooted in Burgundy for around two centuries, shaping a reputation built on precision, vineyard care, and a feel for their home terroirs. Their move into traditional-method sparkling isn’t a modern whim but an extension of that long lineage, applying serious craft to a style that’s often taken too lightly. This bottling reflects that heritage: thoughtful, grounded, and unmistakably Burgundian.
