Tasting Notes

The vins clairs do not undergo malo and the wine spends twenty-four months aging sur latte prior to disgorgement. The current release offers up a bright and nicely complex nose of lemon, quince, flinty minerality, a touch of bread dough and a topnote of citrus zest. On the palate the wine is crisp, medium-full and nicely soil-driven, with a good core, frothy mousse and a long, bright and bouncy finish. This is a very good Loire sparkler and a fine value.

Blend – 50% Chenin Blanc, 25% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir
