French Fizz? Turns out it’s not all about Champagne. If you’ve never tried a French Crémant, then now’s the time to get yourself acquainted with one of the most exquisite and best-value sparkling wines out there. We’ll delve into Crémant from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Loire, taking a slow cruise through some familiar (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) and less familiar (Gamay and Aligoté) grape varietals, and finishing with a deep dive into the marvellous, moreish tastes of Sémillon.
