For those looking for sophisticated bubbles on a budget, Tesco has you covered with its fabulous Crémant selection! What’s the difference between Crémant and Champagne, you may ask? Made in France using the traditional method champenoise, Crémant brings all the sparkle and sophistication of champagne without the hefty price tag. Whether you’re raising a glass for a festive toast, setting the mood for an intimate dinner, or need a last-minute gift, Crémant is the go-to bubbly for every festive occasion and is fast becoming the nation's favourite festive fizz.
Speaking on the growing popularity of Crémant, Fiona Whelan says, “Crémant’s popularity has been on the rise in recent years, and it's easy to see why. With its crisp bubbles and elegant style, it offers all the sparkle of Champagne at a more accessible price point. As more people discover its versatility and quality, Crémant has become a fantastic choice for a variety of occasions, especially during Christmas time - it’s the perfect accompaniment to fruit-based desserts like apple pies and crumbles.”
Here’s some of Fiona’s top Crémant picks, perfect for any festive gathering:
- Alexis Lichine Cremant De Bordeau 750Ml (RRP: €17.00): Intense gold colour with an expressive aroma of yellow orchard fruits and brioche.
