Students at the school, which was founded more than 60 years ago, were asked to imagine the Crémant de Bourgogne wine Perle d’Aurore in a graphic creation, with the theme: “A sparkling wine for every festive occasion!” The winner was Anastasia Mashkovitch. Her picture featured during an exhibition on 31 May, during which Perle d’Aurore sparkling wine was served. FROM GOLD TO RED In 2018, new wire closures can be found on Louis Bouillot bottles. This change is marked by a new capsule color – what was once gold is now red. This discreet contemporary touch may come as a surprise for loyal lovers of Louis Bouillot Crémant de Bourgogne wines when they remove the foil to taste their favorite bubbles – cheers! Perle Rare 2015 Eminent, the grace of a great vintage There is a new addition to Louis Bouillot’s range of vintage cuvées . After the elegant 2012 and 2014 wines, this fall the 2015 vintage will be released. A blend of four Burgundy varietals – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Aligoté – Perle Rare 2015 has an attractive bright golden hue with sustained mousse. It offers tempting aromas of orchard fruits, and its nice acidity gives it a delightful crispness. The dosage balances the flavors, resulting in a willowy, gracious finish. Perle Rare 2015 is a wine that is both powerful yet harmonious, thanks to 24 months of ageing. It confirms the excellence of the 2015 vintage, which produced rich wines with lovely aromatic expression.
