If you've shopped in person, there's a good chance you've seen Victorine de Chastenay disappear from the case stacks pretty quickly… there's a good reason for that. These Crémants come entirely from Côte d'Or fruit in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Nuits, rather than the more common southern-Burgundy sources, and the wines spend 20 months on the lees before release. Even the Bourgogne Wine Board has taken notice! Selecting Victorine de Chastenay for its prestigious Cave de Prestige, a blind-tasted collection of wines chosen to represent the best of their appellations.
VINOUS 91 POINTS- "The NV Cremant Rosé wafts up with a perfumed blend of incense, sweet roses and tangerine. It's sharply focused with a chiseled bead of fine bubbles. A crisp minerality gives way to tart orchard fruits. This leaves the mouth watering for more as ginger and spice nuances slowly fade to reveal a salty staining of minerality."
