Presentation
In this limited edition, our bottle is adorned with a creation by Sami Nouri. Having worked for John Galliano and Jean-Paul Gaultier, this rising fashion star was born in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime. He signs his clothes with a discreet fragment of barbed wire, because he'll never forget where his passion for freedom comes from.
Like an ode to joy, our fine bubbles sparkle merrily and will accompany you for aperitifs and all festive occasions.

Location
The production area of Crémant de Loire, located south of the Loire, covers 2,350 hectares. Our vineyards are located around the villages of Montreuil Bellay and Brossay, in the southern area of the Saumur region.
Terroir
The vines selected for De Chanceny wines are located on tuffeau terroirs. Tender and white, this stone was used for the construction of the Loire castles, but it is also ideal for wine growing: it retains and redistributes rainwater on the land.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand. A soft pressing and a fermentation at a cool temperature (64°F) allow a good conservation of the aromas. The second fermentation is made according to the "Méthode Traditionnelle", in the bottle, after a selection of the best juices.
Ageing
The 18 months of ageing on laths in our tuffeau cellars before disgorgement bring an incomparable finesse of bubbles.
