Simonnet-Febvre is based in Chablis, and has been making wine since the mid-19th century. It's the only producer in Chablis itself that also produces Crémant de Bourgogne, Burgundy's traditional-method sparkling wine. A blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% PInot Noir, this elegant bubbly has seen two to three years bottle age before release. It has a fine mousse when poured, and shows a good depth of red apple flavour, with a some buttery brioche roundness. 8g/L dosage.
