Description
Cremant de Loire Brut NV, Les Quarterons
Region: Loire Valley, France
Grapes: 60% Chenin Blanc, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Cabernet Franc
Tasting Notes: This Cremant de Loire is a complex sparkling wine that spends 18 months on ageing on lees. Pale lemon in colour with notes of baked apples on the nose. The palate has a lovely, soft mousse with notes of lemon, apple, honeysuckle and brioche. The racy acidity of the Chenin Blanc leaves a very crisp and clean impression on the palate.
Food Pairing: Perfect as an aperitif, or served with a smoked salmon starter.
The estate, certified Ecocert and Demeter, is cultivated to biodynamic guidelines, respecting the environment. Clos des Quarterons is a 37 hectare family run estate and the sixth generation of the Amirault family, Agnes and Xavier are now in charge. The domaine plants Cabernet Franc and has been joined by just over a hectare of Chenin Blanc, planted on gravel and siliceous soils that trap the heat of the sun.
