Crémant is a sparkling wine produced in France using the traditional method, similar to Champagne. It is made from various grape varieties, depending on the region, and must adhere to specific production regulations. Crémant can be found in several regions, including Crémant d'Alsace, Crémant de Bourgogne, and Crémant de Loire. Unlike Champagne, Crémant is generally more affordable while still offering high quality. The wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which creates its characteristic bubbles. Crémant is often enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for many occasions.
