Tasting Notes from Bond Street Wines, Charlotte, NC
CLOTILDE DAVENNE, BRUT EXTRA, CREMANT DE BOURGOGNE NV
Clotilde Davenne is a full-time winemaker for the prestigious Chablis
house of Jean-Marc Broucard, but for the last nine years has been produc-
ing fantastic Cremant de Bourgogne from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
on her 8.5 hectare parcel in Yonne. With her overseeing this wonderful
sparkling wine from “bud break to bottle,” Davenne has produced a truly
soulful expression of terroir. You will experience a nose of crisp apples and
grapefruit with a touch of lime peel and fresh baked bread. The bubbles
bounce on your tongue vigorously and give way to wine that is medium-
to full-bodied with complex fruit and frothy cream, and a lingering finish
of crisp stone fruit and limestone mineral.
