Smart and stylish, this blend of 50% Chardonnay, 40% Chenin Blanc, and 10% Pinot Noir plays delightfully with your expectations. The nose delivers a wealth of spring flowers, honey, salted pear, yellow and green citrus, nuts, and even a touch of banana that leads you in one direction; the palate lean and very dry with racy acidity and a savory cast whisks you in another, offering quince, lime flesh and rind, hints of hay and chamomile, and scintillating minerality on the finish.
Grapes are hand harvested from the very best local vineyards of the Loire with low yields of 150 kg per hectare. Only the best juice from the first pressing is used to make this wine. As tradition imposes fermentation is slow and occurs in the bottle. Gratien & Meyer makes a conscious decision not to use malolactic fermentation in the production of its cremants and instead, allows lees aging for 18 months. An intense nose, fine and elegant, with shades of citrus fruit, honey and acacia conferred by the ageing on the lees.
Wonderful as an aperitif, it is particularly well matched with fresh seafood and fish.
Crémant is a sparkling wine from France crafted using the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle, similar to Champagne, but produced outside the designated Champagne region. This elegant and effervescent wine is made using a variety of grape blends, with popular Crémant appellations including Crémant d'Alsace, Crémant de Bourgogne, and others, each showcasing unique regional characteristics and offering a more affordable yet high-quality alternative to Champagne.
