Presentation
Presentation
The meticulous selection of the grapes, of the noblest juices, the vinification according to the traditional method and the ageing on laths in our tuffeau galleries make Deligeroy the perfect pairing for moments of sharing.
Location
The production area of Crémant de Loire, located in the south of the Loire, covers 2700 hectares. It is made from Chenin blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet franc grapes selected from a plot in the southern part of the Saumur region.
Terroir
The grapes come from clay-limestone, tuffeau and schist soils in the south of Saumur. Hand harvesting allows us to carefully select the fruits for our fine sparkling wines.
Winemaking
Gentle pressing and cool fermentation (18°C) preserve the delicate and pure aromas of the grapes. The second fermentation in the bottle, according to the ‘traditional method’, brings elegant bubbles to our wines.
Ageing
Bottles are then aged on laths for a minimum of 12 months, before disgorging, in our tuffeau cellars.
