Description
In a nutshell:
A lovely rich and fat hand picked Chenin Blanc from the heart of France's Loire Valley.
The lowdown:
Once known only for their Loire sparkling wines Langlois-Chateau are, these days, a serious player with the still wines of the region as well. Saumur whites are made from Chenin Blanc and are characteristically crisp and fruity. Here the wine has a pale yellow hue and an intense nose with aromas of ripe stone fruits at first with honey and toasty notes following. Strikingly crisp at first it then shows its real fruitiness and generous, ripe structure. And it wraps up well with a pleasingly fresh and clean citrus 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:
Subtle and elegant it's the ideal companion for raw or cooked shellfish, grilled white fish and even works with asparagus.
