Crémant is a word that describes a certain type of French sparkling wine. Crémant wines are not made all over France but only made in certain officially designated areas. In 1985, in an agreement that ended the use of the term ‘methode champenoise’ by producers of non-Champagne sparkling wines, Champagne agreed to give up the term Crémant. From 1985 on the word Crément would designate sparkling wines from other French regions made using the traditional ‘second fermentation in bottle’ method.

While each Crémant AOC has its own specific rules concerning permitted grape varieties and maximum yields, all seven AOCs share the following common regulations:

  • Grapes must be hand-harvested
  • Grapes may be whole bunch pressed or they may be destemmed
  • The quantity of must obtained from the pressed grapes cannot exceed 100 liters for every 150 kg of grapes;
  • The second fermentation (prise de mousse) must occur in bottle
  • While Crémant wines follow the same sweetness and dosage parameters as Champagne the finished wines cannot exceed a dosage of more than 50g/l sugar.
  • Crémant wines must age for at least 9 months on the lees before being disgorged, and then an additional three months before release to the market
