Zero dosage cuvée. Vissoux’s Cremant de Bourgogne is a bone-dry sparkling wine made using 100% Chardonnay from a single site of vines at Le Bois-d’Oingt, just north of the Chermette cellars. This vineyard is a 2.5 hectare southwest-facing site on limestone-clay soil; perfect for Chardonnay (Chermette grafted Chardonnay onto the existing Gamay vines here).

Made from handpicked fruit and naturally fermented, the wine is aged for 18 months on lees, after which zero dosage liqueur is added, minimum sulphur is used and the wine isn’t fined or filtered. The base is a blend of Chardonnay from 2014, 2015 and 2016. It’s a substantial achievement by Vissoux to consistently outclass much of Champagne with this juicy yet elegant, crisply chiseled fizz.

Fine Wine Cellars

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
