A blend of mainly pinot noir and chardonnay with a small amount of aligote and gamay. Quite a weighty, flavoursome wine with subtle tropical fruit, lychee and citrus flavours. A simple, appealing wine with a good sugar-and-acid balance.

A toasty version, laced with vanilla, pastry cream and spice notes, this is enlivened by racy acidity that creates a mouthwatering frame for the poached quince, apricot and candied ginger flavors.

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 200 hectares of vineyards across Burgundy, mainly planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Veuve Ambal remain leaders in the production of Cremant de Bourgogne today
