Creamy in texture, this Crémant de Loire has intense honey aromas with fresh apple and mimosa. It is smooth with some savoury characters complementing white fruit flavours and a slight bitter fruit finish giving length. Crémant de Loire is predominantly based on Chenin Blanc, which in this case makes up 50% of the blend with 25% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir. Grapes were grown around Montlouis and Lussault-sur-Loire in the Touraine region.
Cecile Lebrun Crémant de Loire Brut Rosé, AOC Crémant de Loire
Pale salmon colour with redcurrant aromas, the rosé Crémant is made from Pinot Noir with 30% Pinot d’Aunis, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Grolleau. It is smooth and crisp with nice mid-palate leading to tart red fruits on the finish. Grapes were handpicked into small crates and pressed. The first fermentation in stainless steel tanks was followed by fermentation in bottle and maturation on lees for 12 months.
