THE LAND
Just above the famous vineyards of Vosne Romanée and Nuits St Georges, the hillsides, in a final effort, give birth to a land of hills and valleys of outstanding and wild beauty.
The vineyards keep all their rights over this land, covering well-exposed slopes and producing a wine with the label “Appellation contrôlée”, a label guaranteeing the origin and the quality of wine :
Bourgogne Hautes–Côtes de Nuits
Since the year 2005, the grower is happy to proposeyou the possibility to buy some of prestigious wines from the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune : Morey Saint Denis, Aloxe-Corton and Vosne-Romanée.
THE ESTATE
Born in an old farmer’s family, Manuel OLIVIER has followed an atypical professional way…
1990 : At the beginning, just a few acres of vineyards and small berries.
Today, Manuel OLIVIER the “full of passion” wine-grower, 35 years old, cultivate 10 ha of vineyards. He belongs to the “rising generation” and obtains each year a lot of rewards for his wine.
Veuve Ambal - Crémant de Bourgogne
This appellation was created in 1975.The production of this sparkling wine is largely restricted to three regions in Burgundy : the wine-growing areas around Auxerre and Châtillon-sur-Seine in the north, and the Côte Chalonnaise (principally Rully) in the south.
Crémant de Bourgogne can be made using several types of grape : Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and also Gamay "jus blanc", Aligoté, Melon, and Sacy. Each grape variety has is own distinctive taste.
What Pinot Noir has offer in robustness and richness, a Chardonnay can match in finesse, suppleness and aromas of white blossom and toast.
If Gamay recommends itself for its juiciness, vivacity and volume, Aligote's unique acidity increases the wine's effervescence.
Skilful blending techniques can be used to produce a wine with its own definable style while remaining faithful to the traditional character of the vineyard.
This Crémant offers the elegant finess one expects of a good sparkling wine, together with its particular aromatic freshness. It makes a perfect aperitif, either on its own or with crème de cassis (Kir Royal). The Rosé goes perfectly with sweets and deserts. 8-9 °C (47-49°F) As an aperitif ; strawberry slice ; ice-cream with gingerbread ; apple upside-down cake ; fresh or stewed fruit
