Langlois
Brut Rosé NV
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.
VINEYARD
Langlois owns and manages 175 acres of the best AOC vineyards in the Loire Valley. For their Crémants they have an intensely terroir-focused approach of drawing the best characteristics from 6 distinct vineyard areas and soil types in order to create complex and refined wines. The Crémant Rosé is hand-picked from 2 specific terroirs with chalky-clay soils perfectly suited to Cabernet Franc. Langlois maintains a sustainable approach to vineyard management and holds the “Terra Vitis” certification.
WINEMAKING
Pressed a few hours after it was hand-harvested, this wine spends 12-15 hours on the skins to impart its beautiful color. Vinified by variety in stainless steel, the wine is blended and bottled before its secondary fermentation. After at least 18 months on the lees, the wine is disgorged and topped up with a dosage of 14g/L.
TASTING NOTE
