Crémant de Bourgogne is a sparkling wine of exactly the same quality as champagne. The area has the same characteristics and climate as Champagne and the wine is made in exactly the same way. The big difference is the price. Crémant de Bourgogne costs a fraction of the price of champagne, which makes it a great alternative for lovers of this festive sparkling wine.

When he was 23, Jérôme Galyrand left Mayenne, a department in the Loire Valley, for Burgundy, to learn wine making from Alain Burguet. In the 1970s and 1980s, Alain Burguet and two colleagues were the only ones to produce organic-dynamic wines. Jérôme Galeyrand joined them in 1996. Before that, he was a cheese wholesaler.

Jérôme Galyrand now lives in Saint-Philibert, just outside Gevrey-Chambertin, and it is here that his vats stand. His wines are made in Brochon, Gevrey Chambertin. Galyrand is a small producer who owns 5 hectares of vineyard. He supplements this by buying grapes from Pierre Naigeon, a wine-maker in Gevrey Chambertin and owner of a Bonnes Mares Grand Cru vineyard.
