Chateau de Plaisance Cremant de Loire

From the historic vineyards around Chaume and Savennières, Vanessa Cherruau has taken over the historic estate and produces wines that best represent the modern image of the Loire. The Crémant de Loire Nature is yet another superb expression of Chenin Blanc’s potential to produce not only dry or sweet wines but also exceptional sparkling wines. Made using the traditional method and with no added dosage, this is a completely dry sparkling wine with aromas of orange zest, stony minerality, notes of almond and toasted almond, and quince paste. The palate is delightful, salty and mineral with hints of toast and brioche, lively acidity, and a creamy effervescence that far exceeds expectations for this style. Utterly gastronomic, beautifully complex, with that deliciously ripe character of the variety without losing a trace of its energy.
