Domaine Langlois Chateau Cremant de Loire Brut Rose

Description

Domaine Langlois Chateau Cremant de Loire Brut Rose is a sparkling rosé made in the traditional method.

In 1973, Maison Bollinger, a family enterprise at Aÿ-Champagne, recognized the quality of Langlois-Chateau wines and acquired majority ownership. Langlois-Chateau subsequently experienced rapid growth, adding to the capacity of its cellars, creating vineyards at Saumur, Saumur-Champigny, and Sancerre (currently 73 hectares), and increasing its commercial investments. The Cremant de Loire Appellation is among the most demanding sparkling wine appellations in France (far more stringent than, for example, Saumur or Vouvray Brut, for the former of which the Langlois wines would naturally qualify). Under the Auspices of Bollinger, Langlois has further augmented the regulations to equal, and even exceed, those of Champagne. The majority of vineyards are composed of chalky soils, which favour elegant wines. Hand-picking in small baskets ensures only the best grapes are selected.

Domaine Langlois Chateau Cremant de Loire Brut Rose is aged for a minimum of 18 months at the Chateau’s cellars before release. 100% Cabernet Franc. A perennial favourite and often sells faster than Langlois can produce it, although they never compromise on quality to release early.

What is Cremant de Loire?

Crémant de Loire is a French sparkling wine from the Loire Valley, produced using the traditional method. Made with grapes like Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay, the sparkling white wines offer a fruit-forward, dry profile with a fine, delicate mousse. There are also sparkling Rosé wines produced, like this one, often made from Cabernet France. It is considered a more affordable alternative to Champagne. The appellation was established in 1975 and covers a wide geographical area within the Loire region.
