Maison Veuve Ambal was founded in the heart of Burgundy in 1898, by Veuve Marie Ambal, widow of a Parisian banker. Marie returned to Rully to join her brother, wine lover and wine broker, at the time method traditionelle was being introduced for sparkling wines. The wines immediately gained recognition and her grandson Charles Roux Ambal, followed by his grandson and current President Eric Piffaut, have continued to build on Marie’s philosophy of quality, and the combination of tradition and modernity which is the signature of Veuve Ambal. With over 250 hectares of vineyards across Burgundy, mainly planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Sustainable organic practices are a priority in viticulture and winemaking which is reflected in quality of wines. Veuve Ambal remain leaders in the production of Cremant de Bourgogne today.

100% chardonnay made from fruit sourced from Central & Southern France. No doubt a sparkling house of this size can source quality fruit that overdelivers here in this Blanc de Blancs – it has a wonderfully fine bead and full mousse, fruity bouquet of peach and citrus with a dry zesty apple finish.

This is the french sparkling for celebration without the serious price tag!! Serve well chilled as an aperitif with canapes.
