Summary
Since the scope of the provided text reflects data and trends, without additional data post-2020, it is not possible to give an accurate current market summary starting from 2020. However, I can provide a summary of the text up, which mentions the growth trends for Crémant, a sparkling wine produced in specific regions of France using a traditional method. As of the text's knowledge cutoff, the French Crémant market was experiencing an increase in demand despite the overall decline in wine consumption in France. Sales of Crémants had surpassed 83 million bottles, signaling a strong market presence.
The demand for Crémant was not only persisting but growing both domestically and on an international scale, particularly in Germany, Belgium, and the United States. The Alsace, Burgundy, and Loire regions were leading in sales, while emerging regions like Jura, Limoux, and Bordeaux showed impressive growth of up to 200% in production. Crémant was differentiating itself from Champagne, yet facing competition from foreign sparkling wines such as Cava and Prosecco. In response, Crémant producers were leveraging product innovations, including organic varieties, and distinct packaging to maintain a competitive edge. Please note that for a current market overview starting from 2020, up-to-date information is required, which is not provided in the text above.
Rising Popularity of Crémant in Sprightly Wine Sector
Crémant, the sparkling wine hailing from distinct appelation areas and crafted through traditional methods, is demonstrating a noteworthy trajectory in the wine industry. With general wine consumption experiencing a mild downturn within France, it is quite impressive to witness the buoyant sales of crémant which continue to soar. This fizzy beverage is shedding the formal image occasionally associated with champagne, presenting itself as a festive, quality alternative that is gaining favor within France and notably on the international stage. The burgeoning demand for crémant is not just a domestic affair; the wave has reached foreign shores with notable growth in markets such as Germany, Belgium, and the United States.
Crémant d'Alsace, in particular, is earning an amplified reputation abroad. The enthusiasm for this sparkling wine is further cemented by sales figures that have reached somewhere between 80 and 85 million bottles in 2018, underlining the product's robust presence in the market. Three French regions - Alsace, Burgundy, and. The Loire - are acclaimed for their crémant production; however, other regions are hastily climbing the ranks. the Jura region saw a staggering 200% increase in crémant production, Limoux experienced a growth of roughly 45 to 50%, and Bordeaux enjoyed an impressive leap of 185%. These numbers signify a pronounced expansion across a variety of crémant-producing regions, emphasizing the versatility and consumer appreciation of this sparkling wine.
Nevertheless, the competition remains fierce as crémants must hold their ground against popular foreign sparkling wines like cava and prosecco. These contenders are charming not only the French populace but are also vying for a substantial cut of the crémants' share in the global market. Producers are not resting on their laurels; they are constantly innovating and seeking ways to distinguish their brands in the bustling market. Efforts such as eye-catching packaging, leveraging strong regional appellations, and crafting organic varieties are part of their strategies to attract consumers and maintain market relevance. The drive to innovate along with the burgeoning global popularity of crémant suggests a sparkling future for this wine category.

Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Crément refers to a sparkling sparkling wine from a particular appellation area and obtained using a traditional method.
In a wine market that is suffering from the slow but steady decline in wine consumption in France sales of cremements continue to increase and the demand is not waning. Less ceremonious than champagne, crément reflects the image of a sparkling, festive and quality wine which makes its success and seduces as much in France as abroad. Indeed, demand is also growing outside France germany, Belgium and the United States are the three countries where the cremant is exported more and the famous crement d'alsace enjoys a growing reputation there.
While sales exceeded 83 million passes in 2018, three French regions stand out clearly: Alsace, Burgundy and the Loire, but other regions are on the rise. Between 2012 and 2018, the production of crémants from the Jura has increased by 200%, that of Limoux by 47% and it reaches 185% in Bordeaux.
If the differentiation with champagne is clear, the cremations are facing strong competition This is particularly true in the face of foreign sparkling wines such as cava and prosecco which seduce the French and compete for shares in export creams. The brands are seeking to stand out through attractive packaging, strong appellations and product innovations with organic vintages.
