Andre Delorme Cremant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs NV

In 1942 André Delorme founded his wine company in Rully, and started his sparkling wine business. From the beginning, its core customers were private individuals and high-quality gourmet restaurants.

A few years later, his son Jean-François joined him and diversified the Maison‘s business by planting new vines and producing prestigious appellations from the Côte Chalonnaise: Rully, Mercurey, Givry, etc. The Maison’s reputation kept on growing, in France as well as abroad.

In 2005 Eric Piffaut, another resident of Rully and a director of the VEUVE AMBAL family company, took over the Maison. The rise in quality reaches a new milestone and the Maison is now recognised as the specialist of Côte Chalonnaise wines and Crémants de Bourgogne.

Andre Delorme Cremant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blanc is produced by the traditional method. When the harvests arrive, they press the grapes slowly using pneumatic wine presses. Only the first presses are used to produce their wines. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 100% stainless steel vats. Secondary fermentation in the bottle (according to the traditional method), is carried out by adding yeasts and sugar. This is followed by 18 months of ageing on lees in temperature-controlled cellars.
