Maison Louis Picamelot

Rully | Côte Chalonnaise | Burgundy

One of the most historic Crémant houses in Burgundy, Maison Louis Picamelot is the single reference in the region for character-driven and complex Crémant de Bourgogne wines.

This family-run winery has long focused on wines of terroir, sourcing only the finest grapes, harvested by hand, from top vineyards and focusing on single-vineyard (as well as vintage) bottlings.

The winery’s cellars in Rully are located nearly 500 feet underground, dug into pure rock and ideal for the slow, gradual aging of their many impressive cuvees.

FARMING & WINEMAKING

This sparkling wine house sources high-quality grapes from greater Burgundy, yet is based in the village of Rully, in the Côte Chalonnaise. Picamelot not only crafts its own, estate-sourced Crémant de Bourgogne but also is the house to which many of Burgundy’s top growers entrust their Crémant de Bourgogne production.

All grapes for Picamelot wines are harvested by hand. For many wines, only the “heart” of the press wine, or the cleanest and most expressive juice, is used to craft Crémant de Bourgogne. Wines are aged in the house’s modern cellars, built in the early 2000s, in Rully. This climatized building, with cellars dug into solid rock some 500 feet underground, provides the perfectly cool and consistent conditions for aging Crémant de Bourgogne.
