For those who love real-deal Champagne but hate paying the price, I've got just the solution.
We're kicking off our sparkling wine features for the holiday season with Les Cave du Prieuré's classy Crémant de Bourgogne. It's made using the same traditional method as Champagne, but comes from Burgundy, and what a value it is!
On sale for $24.99/bottle, nearly 25% off the regular price of $32.99. No further discounts, and we have just 120 bottles available at this price.
Domaine du Prieuré is now in its third generation, run by husband and wife Stephen and Lucie Maurice. Under their watch, the estate attained organic certification, and the wines are better than ever. Their Crémant is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, two classic Champagne grapes, with notes of pear, lemon curd, a hint of cherry, brioche, and minerality. Sounds a bit like Champagne, doesn't it? Trust me, it tastes like the real deal, minus the $50+ price tag.
What makes this wine especially compelling is its 24 months of aging on the lees, the spent yeast cells left in contact with the wine. This extended aging brings added complexity, texture, and finesse to the bubbles, making this a seriously compelling alternative to Champagne.
Every time we put this one on sale, it flies out the door. With just 120 bottles available at this price, I'd highly recommend securing your stash early. I wouldn't count on it lasting until Thanksgiving!
