The Louis Bouillot Perle d'Ivoire Blanc de Blancs NV is an elegant Crémant de Bourgogne crafted in Burgundy using the traditional method. Produced by Maison Louis Bouillot, this sparkling blend of predominantly Chardonnay with a small proportion of Aligoté combines fruit from northern and southern Burgundy, delivering freshness, finesse and creamy complexity. The nose reveals aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach, complemented by white flowers, brioche and a hint of toasted almond.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a fine, persistent mousse and vibrant natural acidity. Flavours of citrus, crisp pear and orchard fruit are balanced by subtle buttery and brioche notes from extended lees ageing, leading to a clean, dry finish with refreshing mineral character.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent alternative to Champagne for those who enjoy refined, traditional method sparkling wines with freshness and elegance. Serve well chilled as an aperitif or alongside freshly shucked oysters, smoked salmon, sushi, grilled prawns or soft cheeses. Best enjoyed while young to appreciate its lively fruit and fine bead.
