Country: France, Loire ValleyGrapes: Chenin BlancABV: 12.5%Style: Crisp Classic Sparkling91 Points - James Melendez. An exceptional organic sparkling wine that puts many champagnes in its shadow. This lovely Organic Crémant de Loire has been aged for a minimum of 12 months to obtain maximum aromatics and complexity. The first nose is delicate and very fresh, then it is more expressive through a small biscuit tip after aeration.
