Profile & Story

LOW CONFIDENCE PRODUCER MATCH, as flagged in the assignment. The downloaded bottle image is labeled 'Vignerons de Bel-Air' -- a Burgundy Crémant range associated with the Vinescence cooperative group (Mâconnais area), which also sells a 'Grande Cuvée Vinescence Crémant de Bourgogne Brut' under closely related branding. A separate, distinct producer, Jean Marc Lafont -- Domaine de Bel Air, also makes a 100% Chardonnay Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs (first fermentation partly in oak barrels, then bottle-fermented via méthode traditionnelle for at least 12 months plus 3 months further cellar aging) from the 'Pierres Dorées' vineyard -- this technical profile is a good fit for a Blanc de Blancs but its bottle label does not match the photo obtained. Neither identification could be confirmed via an official producer website, so this remains a genuine open question for a human to resolve against the physical bottle at Bistro So.

Tasting Notes

Classic, dry and crisp style with notes of candied apple, Asian pear, toasted marshmallow, and lime custard (this note corresponds to the Jean Marc Lafont Domaine de Bel Air candidate, not independently confirmed against the 'Vignerons de Bel-Air' label actually shown in the photo).
