Louis Bouillot Perle D'ivoire Crémant De Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs Brut, Burgundy A.C., France: Crisp and clean with toasty warmth and green apple refreshment. A steal of a deal. The Burgundian estate of Louis Bouillot was one of the first wineries in the region to create sparkling wine, called Crémant de Bourgogne, back in 1877. This bubbly is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Pair with fried chicken. Drink: 2015-2017. 48801 12% M 750 mL $19.95 Score: 88/100. May 30, 2015
