Crémant (and other non-Champagne Fizz!)

Let’s get real—if you’ve ever typed “Crement” into Google, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most misspelled and mispronounced wine words out there. But whether you call it Crémant, Crement, or even “that other French bubbly,” you’re in the right place to discover one of the best sparkling secrets in the wine world.

Crémant is the ultimate Champagne alternative. Made in the same traditional method as Champagne, but from regions like the Loire and Burgundy, Crémant delivers all the bubbles, finesse, and celebration—at a fraction of the price. It’s for people who want to enjoy the good stuff without the Champagne price tag or the fuss.

How & Where is Cremant made?

Crémant is crafted using the méthode traditionnelle, just like Champagne. That means the bubbles are created in the bottle, not pumped in. In Burgundy, you’ll find Crémant made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the Loire, winemakers can also use Chenin Blanc, Gamay, and even Cabernet Franc.

The result? Sparkling wines with real character, freshness, and complexity—often for a third of the price of Champagne. The main epicentres of production are the Loire and Burgundy.
