Nigra Crémant
IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN.
The pressing of whole, hand-picked grapes and an extended period of maturation on the fine lees form the basis for our Crémants – the pinnacle of our range. The base wines are blended with great care and the cuvées are fine-tuned down to the very finest nuances. Every NIGRA Crémant bears its own distinctive character. What they all have in common is their complexity and finesse.

The Art of the Moment
From the first glimpse of the vine to the last sip in the glass – a symphony of craftsmanship and passion, crafted for unforgettable moments.
Character. Quality. Enjoyment.
Méthode Traditionnelle
Timeless in its origins, modern in its flavour: traditional bottle fermentation to meet the highest standards.
Circulation
The base wine for sparkling wine, yeast, and the dosage are added to the bottle.
Fermentation
Fine pearls are formed
through the
second fermentation
in the bottle.
Yeast Storage
Up to 3 years for delicate aromas, creaminess and complexity.
Shaking off
The yeast is gently poured
into the neck
of the
bottle.
Disgorging
Removal of the yeast without filtration. The sparkling wine does not leave the bottle.
Dosage
Up to 3 years for delicate aromas, creaminess and complexity.
A great sparkling wine requires two things: a patient aging process in our historic Nigra cellars, where artisanal perfection unfolds, and people who, with passion and decades of experience, turn every bottle into an unforgettable moment full of joie de vivre.
