Premius, Brut, Crémant de Bordeaux, France NV

Made in the same way as Champagne, just not from that region or with as long on lees, Crémant is a reliable buy. This, an intriguing, gently toasty blend of Semillon, Cabernet Franc and Muscadelle, has fresh lime leaf aromas and a vibrant acid line supporting creamy lemon posset flavours.
