Maison Bodet-Herold Crémant de Loire Les Greffiers Brut Nature 2021

Maison Bodet-Herold Cremant de Loire Les Greffiers Brut Nature is a Loire sparkling wine from pure Chenin Blanc given three years on lees before disgorgement.

Maison Bodet-Herold works in the Loire Valley with Chenin Blanc for traditional method sparkling wine under the Cremant de Loire appellation. Cremant de Loire is made across Anjou, Saumur and Touraine on tuffeau limestone and clay soils, with a minimum of nine months on lees, though the better cuvees go far beyond that. Chenin Blanc is the signature grape, prized for its naturally high acidity, its ability to carry autolytic complexity and its capacity to age. This cuvee is bottled brut nature, meaning no dosage at all is added at disgorgement, so the wine relies on ripe fruit and extended lees ageing for balance rather than sugar. Les Greffiers is the longer aged of the house cuvees, spending thirty six months on lees.

The extra lees ageing gives a broader, more toasty and textural wine that will take roast chicken, richer fish dishes and aged cheese; serve at around 9 degrees.
