Crémant de Loire

These white and rosé sparkling wines are produced in Anjou, Saumur, and Touraine wine regions located in Loire valley. The principal grape variety used in its production is Chenin Blanc, but the permitted varieties include Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pineau d’Aunis.

White Crémant de Loire wines are fresh and crisp, with typical notes of white fruits, almond, and vanilla, while rosé varieties usually display notes of red berries. Both types can be enjoyed as an aperitif or an accompaniment to different appetizers, cheese, charcuterie, or desserts, but the white version can also be an excellent match to fish from the Loire river, seafood, and poultry.
