Maison Albert Sounit, Rully

 Based in the village of Rully, one of the northernmost in Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise region, Maison Albert Sounit was founded in 1851 by Flavien Jeunet. Today it is under Danish ownership.

The house produces a range of wines from throughout the Côte Chalonnaise but the gems in its portfolio are without doubt the Crémants de Bourgogne, some of the very best Burgundy has to offer. Made using the méthode traditionelle as in Champagne, Sounit uses only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the two noble grapes of its northern neighbour to produce superb quality - and value - alternatives to Champagne.

The Sounit Crémants make regular appearances in the Guide Hachette and other publications.
