About this video
We had the pleasure of speaking live with François-Régis de Fougeroux, General Manager, and Laurent Onillon, Commercial Director, of Langlois-Chateau. While we could not be with them in person, they both showed us around the property’s boutique and vineyards.
In addition to providing a brief winery history, they both shared fantastic details on their stunning Crémants and Sancerre – including their rigorous quality control standards in the vineyards and in the cellar. Of course, the conversation would not be complete without touching on the impact that COVID-19 is having on their business.
VINTUS’ Anthony Cohen moderated the interview and surprised us all with an original song he wrote and sang in honor of Langlois-Chateau. We promise this will make you smile, so please go ahead and watch the full video (his song comes on at the very end!).

Cremant de Loire
Langlois Brut Rosé is a refined Crémant de Loire crafted from a blend of Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. The wine undergoes a meticulous process, with only the first pressed juice used and 18 months of aging on the lees to maintain its freshness and vibrant color. A brief 12-15 hour skin contact gives it its delicate pale pink hue with copper highlights. On the palate, it is fresh, generous, and fruity, with appealing notes of vineyard peach and an airy elegance. Its long finish leaves a lasting impression, showcasing Langlois' commitment to terroir since 1885.

Loire Valley, France
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).
