Vignerons de Mancey
Les Vignerons de Mancey currently groups together the production of 80 wine growers, with 140 hectares of vineyards spread over 8 communes in the Mancey area. Founded in 1929, Les Vignerons de Mancey, is set in the heart of lovely countryside, a few kilometres from Tournus and the Saône River, with the winery's ‘terroir’ sitting on the open, rolling landscape of the Mâconnais hills.
The grapes, harvested by hand, are transported to the winery in perforated crates and gently transferred into the press. The very gentle pressing produces delicate musts, free from vegetal aromas. After the first fermentation in vats, a second fermentation is created in the bottle to obtain the effervescence. The bottles are then left to rest in the cellars for 18-24 months. The deposit caused by the fermentation is collected by carefully turning the up-ended bottles over a period of time, a process known as ‘remuage’. The deposits are removed through the ‘disgorging’ process and the bottle is then sealed for consumption.

Les Vignerons de Mancey Crémant de Bourgogne “Blanc de Blanc”
[Chardonnay: 90%, Aligoté: 10%]
This is lively and fresh on the nose, and fine, delicate and dry on the palate. Largely dominated by Chardonnay bringing finesse and elegance, it is further enhanced by a touch of freshness and vivacity brought by the Aligoté. Showing a lovely golden colour, the intense aroma of fresh fruits and flowers leads to a fine and round palate with notes of dried fruits.
