I'd prefer to let time improve the quality but when I just can't wait (which is often), I've found that using an aerator (Vinturi and others) moves things along quite nicely.

I can well imagine they may overprice their wine for Americans, but not for French speaking Americans who are residents.

I don't think we had any Crémant when we were in Burgundy -- we were enjoying the Chablis, Irancy, and other still wines including Passe-Tout-Grains. I think the Irancy that we did buy in a supermarket cost about 8 euros.<br /><br />When we go to Jean-Noël's cave down the road, we can buy a very nice blanc doux (Chenin) for about 3 euros.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-86887339066051109452015-01-14T11:57:01.115+01:002015-01-14T11:57:01.115+01:00Glad your worries are over. 15 euro per bottle is ...Glad your worries are over. 15 euro per bottle is steep indeed, especially as you bought it straight from the vigneron. Wonder what it would cost in the supermarket. I suppose you didn't try/buy their Crémant? Crémant de Bourgogne is quite nice, but I prefer the Chenin Vouvray bubbly.
