Winemaker Notes
This is a fresh and vivacious style, showing powerful aromas of red fruit (raspberry, redcurrant) and showing fine bubbles and pale rosé color.
Ideally for an aperitif but it will also match perfectly desserts made with red fruit and chocolate.

COMMENTARY: The Simonnet - Febve Cremant de Bourgogne Brut Rose is fresh and enticing. Try it with a salmon mousse topped with raspberries. (Tasted: May 10, 2023, San Rafael, CA)
The Maison and Domaine of Simonnet-Febvre were founded in 1840 by Jean Febvre, a barrel maker by trade from Montbard. In the early days, the house was known for its sparkling Chardonnays from Chablis, known today as Crémant de Bourgogne. Over the years, the Febvres acquired holdings in some of the greatest terroirs in Chablis. Today, the Domaine comprises approximately 9 acres, crowned by a 2/3-acre plot in the Grand Cru vineyard of Les Preuses, with 3.5 acres of Premier Cru Mont de Milieu and 4.7 acres of communal Chablis vineyards. Maison Louis Latour acquired Simonnet-Febvre in 2003. Since its purchase, the Latours have entirely renovated the winemaking facilities, installing new stainless steel tanks and pneumatic presses. The vineyards have been reworked with the same sustainable vineyard practices utilized in Latour's 125-acre domain in the Côte d'Or. Maison Louis Latour also hired a talented new winemaker, Jean-Philippe Archambaud.
