Vinification
The grapes are destemmed, before being transferred to the
fermenting vats. We do cold maceration at around 9 degrees
for 5 to 7 days to extract flavor and color with frequent
pumping over. Hereafter the temperature is increased which
initiates the alcohol fermentation. We only use natural
yeast. During the fermentation, which takes 7 to 9 days, we
do light pushdowns. When the alcoholic fermentation has
finished, we continue the maceration for 2 to 4 days. 15 months of aging of which 12 in oak barrel (50% new) and 3 months in stainless steel tanks.

About Dom. Albert Sounit
Crémant de Bourgogne is the specialization of this small house that is located in Rully, the heart of the Crémant de Bourgogne region. The sparkling wines of Sounit are regularly labeled as extremely beautiful wines by the international press. In addition, they feed a number of beautiful silent white and red wines on a small scale, whereby respect for the "terroir" is paramount. At Sounit wines are still being raised that are authentic to the Châlonnaise region. The wood upbringing (common for many burgundies) is applied in a balanced way, with the result: fresh, generous and yet robust Burgundy as the wines from this region should be.
