The house has been making sparkling wines using the traditional method since 1840 and is still the only maison in Chablis that produces Crémants de Bourgogne. The dosage of 7 g\/l keeps the style beautifully dry. What does Brut mean for sparkling wine? It stands for a dry style with a limited dosage after disgorgement. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"650\" data-end=\"673\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"846\"\u003eThe origin of this Crémant lies in the cool north of Burgundy, precisely where tension and acidity have a great influence on the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"1871\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1l6kzrw\" data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"1183\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"873\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Although Crémant de Bourgogne can be made throughout Burgundy, Simonnet-Fèbvre sources most of the grapes for this wine from in and around Chablis.
