We visit this excellent family run producer each year in the pretty town of Saumur. Tasting their exquisite sparkling wines is a highlight of being in the Loire Valley and is what being in France is all about. This is the good stuff – vintage Chenin Blanc and an absolute bargain for what you get.
Golden yellow colour. Precise and delicately honeyed nose, underlined by toasted notes. Unctuous foam leads into to a sophisticated palate, with a distinctive Chenin character of quince, acacia and beeswax. The finish is elegant, upheld by bitterness and structure. This has spent at least two years resting on its lees giving extra richness and body.
