Bourgogne Mousseux AC

You may know that Cremant de Bourgogne is the appellation given to sparkling wines made by the traditional method in Burgundy. But this was not the original appellation for sparkling Burgundy wines - that was Bourgogne Mousseux which was granted for white rose and red sparkling wines made throughout Burgundy produced by a second fermentation in the bottle. The Cremant de Bourgogneappellation for white and rose sparklers came in 1975 and  for a while white and pink Burgundy sparklers can use either designation. However since 1984, the AC of Bourgogne Mousseux is reserved for red sparkling Burgundy! The grapes which can be used for these sparklers are Pinot Noir and Gamay, although the inclusion of a minimal proportion of white grapes is also allowed.
