Description
In a nutshell:
A crisp, dry and delicate sparkling Crémant from France's Loire Valley.
The lowdown:
This top quality sparkling wine from the Loire valley is certainly one that should be taken seriously. These days Langlois-Château is part of the Bollinger Champagne stable and they bring all of their expertise to help make this a distinctive sparkling wine. Here Chenin Blanc, a mainstay variety of the Loire Valley, is the dominant variety used in the blend along with about 20% each of Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc. It has a delicate mousse and a complex nose mixing different fruits such as quince, peach and grapefruit which lead to a lovely honeyed palate and a fresh and delicate finish.
The Producer:
Langlois-Chateau was founded in 1912 by Edouard Langlois and his wife Jeanne Chateau and, from the outset, specialized in sparkling wines. They suffered a major setback in 1915 when Edouard Langlois was killed during the First World War. However, the business was carried on by his widow and continued to thrive. In 1973 they were acquired by the Champagne house Bollinger and with the financial investment that came with it were able to expand both their cellars and vineyard holdings in Saumur, Saumur-Champigny and Sancerre. In 2007 their winery at Saint-Hilare-Saint-Florent in Saumur was significantly expanded and now handles their entire production and distribution operations. These days in addition to their renowned Loire Valley sparkling wines their growing range of still wines is also starting to make waves.
When to drink:
A lovely easy drinking French sparkler with an impeccable heritage.
