Founded in 1877 by Jean Bouillot the estate of Louis Bouillot is a specialist Cremant de Bourgogne producer now run by Jean-Claude Boisset and it produces a range of excellent Methode Traditionnelle sparkling wines from sites across the Côte d’Or. The Cremant de Bourgogne appellation was officially created in 1975 and the domaine, based in Nuits-St-Georges, produces great value sparkling wines that provide a great alternative to Champagne, from the vivid pinot Noir fruit of the Perle Bourgogne Mousseux Rouge to their lively and complex Perle de Vigne Grand Reserve.
