Langlois-Chateau Crémant de Loire Brut NV (90 JD)
“The NV Crémant de Loire Brut is a beauty based mostly on Chenin Blanc, with 20% each of Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc. It spent 36 months on lees in bottle. Juicy citrus, tangerine, and lime-like characteristics all emerge from this medium-bodied, balanced Crémant that has plenty of texture and depth. It’s a good value and a serious sparkler.”

Langlois owns and manages 175 acres of the best AOC vineyards in the Loire Valley. Their Crémants are produced with standards far beyond the appellation requirements and even beyond Champagne AOC standards. They have an intensely terroir-focused approach of drawing the best characteristics from six distinct vineyards areas and soil types. The result is Méthode Champenoise wines of incredible finesse, further elevated by the expertise of the Bollinger Groupe, who acquired the estate in 1973 (their very first investment outside of Champagne).
