History
The RDO of Crémant de Bordeaux officially appeared in 1990. It has to be produced within the Bordeaux appellation following the traditional method called in the past "Champenoise Method".
The grape varieties used to make Crément de Bordeaux are traditional Bordeaux grape varieties, white and red, such as Semillon, Mucadelle or Cabernet Franc. You can also find so-called accessory grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc. The grapes are matured on laths for a minimum of 12 months. The AOC Crémant de Bordeaux complies with strict specifications, validated in France by the National Institute of Origin Appellation under the dependance of the Ministry of Agriculture.
