Crèmant de Bourgogne, Geisweiler

History
A young entrepreneur named Francois Geisweiler (1781-1837), founded only 23 years old, his company in 1804 in the village of Nuits-St-Georges, located in the heart of Burgundy. Geisweiler is thus one of the oldest wine houses in the region and is today famous for its sparkling Crèmant.
