Guillemot-Michel, Une Bulle – 2022

Guillemot-Michel, Une Bulle 2022 is a distinctive and elegant sparkling wine from Burgundy’s Mâconnais, crafted from 100% Chardonnay using the traditional Méthode Ancestrale. Produced from the historic Lie-Monin parcel, this expressive Burgundian pétillant captures the natural freshness and generosity of ripe Chardonnay, combining delicate bubbles, orchard fruit, floral nuances, almond complexity, and a beautifully refreshing finish. The wine is made using the natural sugars of the grapes rather than added sugar for the second fermentation, giving it an authentic and characterful expression.

Brilliant pale golden in color, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe apple, pear, white peach, dried flowers, fresh almond, marzipan, and warm bread, accompanied by subtle pastry and mineral nuances. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a soft, fleshy texture and a fine, lively mousse. Flavors of baked apple, ripe pear, quince, citrus, and white fruit unfold gracefully, while almond and delicate brioche notes add depth and complexity. Vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and precise, balancing its gentle natural sweetness and giving the palate an energetic, refreshing character.

The finish is long, fresh, and beautifully persistent, leaving lingering impressions of ripe orchard fruit, almond, citrus peel, delicate brioche, and subtle mineral notes. Its combination of fine bubbles, natural fruit concentration, lively acidity, and elegant texture makes Guillemot-Michel Une Bulle 2022 a refined choice for lovers of Burgundy sparkling wine, Chardonnay, and naturally crafted French wines. Its ancestral-method character and expressive fruit profile make it equally enjoyable as an aperitif or alongside food.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with oysters, fresh seafood, scallops, prawns, smoked salmon, pâté and terrines, French onion soup with Gruyère, roasted white fish, light poultry dishes, mild cheeses, fresh goat cheese, and delicate fruit-based desserts.

Serving Suggestion: Best served well chilled at 9–10°C. Serve immediately after opening to preserve its delicate mousse and allow the wine’s expressive aromas of orchard fruit, almond, floral notes, and subtle brioche to develop in the glass.
