About
Albert Sounit "Brut Nature Zero Dosage" NV is a profoundly dry sparkling wine, crafted without the addition of any dosage, thereby showcasing the natural flavors and acidity of the grapes at their most unadulterated. This Crémant de Bourgogne is produced from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, carefully selected from the renowned vineyards of Burgundy, France. The absence of added sugar highlights the skillful winemaking and the exceptional quality of the terroir, offering a pure, vibrant expression of Burgundy's sparkling wine tradition.
Producer
The founder of the winery, Albert Sounit, created it in the 1930s in the Château Jeunet wine estate, which is located in the commune of Riley in the Côte Chalonnaise appellation. Built at the end of the 19th century, the chateau can be proud of its 120 meter long underground cellars, where the winery's sparkling wines are kept. In 1993 Suni sold his company to the Danish Knud Kjellerup. In 1999, Grande Cuvée wine appeared for the first time on the market, which is produced only in the best harvest years, such as 2001, 2005 and 2006. In 2005, the winery acquired 7 hectares of vineyard in the Montagny appellation. For production needs, grapes are also purchased from the vineyards of Macon and Chatillon on the banks of the Seine.
Tasting notes
The tasting profile of Albert Sounit “Brut Nature Zero Dosage” NV is characterized by its crisp and refreshing nature, with notes of green apple, citrus, and a hint of minerality, complemented by subtle floral undertones and a creamy texture that belies its zero dosage. The finish is clean and sharp, with a lingering acidity that makes this sparkling wine particularly invigorating.
Pairing
This wine pairs exceptionally well with fresh oysters or sushi, where its crisp acidity and mineral notes enhance the natural flavors of the seafood. It also complements light, vegetable-based dishes, such as a crisp summer salad, where the wine’s brightness and lack of sweetness provide a refreshing counterbalance to the fresh produce, making for a delightful and harmonious meal.

Burgundy
Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
