Cremant de Loire "Brut" May Georges, Loire Valley, FR, NV

Winemaker Notes

Delicate golden color with elegant bubbles, which rise with great energy. A striking balance of fruit purity and biscuity richness makes room for chalky minerality on the nose. Loire’s own Chenin Blanc brings chamomile and lanolin, adding complexity to Chardonnay’s fresh green apple and Pinot Noir’s delicate cherry flavors. A vein of focused acidity runs through an otherwise creamy texture, and a kiss of residual sugar provides for a rounded mouthfeel. The wine weaves between savory and crisp, and comes together for a long, precise finish. A textbook example of Méthode Traditionnelle bubbles, delivered at a tremendous value.

Blend: 50% Chenin Blanc, 25% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir
