| Cremant De Loire |
This bottle of wine was served as an apertif with my girlfriend before we went to dinner. We are long distance and celebrated Valentines Day this weekend. I bought her a this bottle from the Vintage Cellar. It is a Brut wine from the Loire Valley in France, produced by Vigneau Winemakers and it is a blend of 50% Chenin Blanc and 50% Chardonnay
What Others Said
"Lemons and peaches are bright and citrusy aromas. The perky bubbles are firm yet creamy as they dance around the tongue, leaving a trail of chalky minerals. Notes of earthy hay and dried flowers add complexity to this tasty all purpose wine." - Loire Valley Wine Buyer's Selection
from Kysela
Very fancy and tasty! It smelled very floral and fruity, like ripe limes. The flavor was much more delicate, slightly toasty with more mellow fruit expressing. The wine had a fine texture, not aggressively carbonated with a refreshing finish. Wine Folly gives tasting notes for Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley as "expect aromas of soft baked golden apples with undertones of quince, dried flower, and beeswax, with an element of crisp minerality"
