Presentation
Location
The Crémant de Loire production area, south of the Loire, covers 2,350 hectares. Our vines are located around the commune of Montreuil-Bellay, in the south of the Saumur region.
Terroir
Over 20% of our vines are grown organically. This more responsible and thoughtful approach enables us to create different wine profiles and to think about the vines of tomorrow. The selected vines are located on tuffeau soil. Tender and white, it was used to build the châteaux of the Loire, but it's also ideal for growing vines: it retains and redistributes rainwater over the land.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand. Gentle pressing and fermentation at a cool temperature (18°C) ensure that the aromas are well preserved. The second fermentation is carried out according to the Traditional Method, in the bottle, after a selection of the best juices.
Ageing
The 18 months of ageing on laths in our tuffeau cellars before disgorging give this wine an incomparable finesse of bubbles.
Varietals
