Louis de Grenelle Crémant de Loire Blanc Brut Louis NV

Louis de Grenelle Cuvée Louis is an organically grown Crémant de Loire from an independent Saumur sparkling house.

Crémant de Loire is the region's traditional-method appellation, drawing on fruit from Anjou, Saumur and Touraine and requiring hand harvesting, whole-bunch pressing, a second fermentation in bottle and at least twelve months on lees. Louis de Grenelle ages its bottles in galleries cut fifteen metres into the tuffeau limestone beneath Saumur, where the constant cool temperature suits a slow second fermentation. Cuvée Louis is made from organically farmed fruit and is led by Chenin Blanc with Chardonnay in support, giving orchard fruit and citrus over a chalky base. The lees ageing runs well beyond the appellation minimum, which fills out the texture, and the wine is finished brut so that the Chenin acidity remains the frame of it.

A clean, dry sparkling for the aperitif, shellfish and goat's cheese; serve well chilled at six to eight degrees.
