Sparkling wines

What’s the difference between sparkling wine and fizzy wine ?

Unlike still wines, sparkling wines contain carbon dioxide (CO2), creating effervescence. The natural fizz results from the pressure created during fermentation and the airtight seal of the bottle.

There are three categories of bubly wines:

• Sparkling wine
• Fizzy wine
• Perlant wine

Sparkling wines typically have a pressure of carbon dioxide between 1 to 2.5 bars at 20°C. On the palate, they offer a gentle tingling sensation, with well-balanced bubbles that enhance the tasting experience.

• Aged for a minimum of 9 months
• Pressing yield limited to 100 liters of juice for 150 kilograms of whole grapes, etc.

An Authentic Expression of our Terroir

Our Crémant de Loire is a white sparkling wine that draws its aromas from the schist soils (both gray and purple) that define our vineyards. Made primarily from Chenin Blanc, it showcases the best of our local grape varieties.

Its crystalline clarity and delicate bubbles are the result of the traditional method, with a second fermentation in the bottle after the addition of tirage liqueur. Passed down through four generations, our expertise allows us to craft a sparkling wine of outstanding finesse and purity.
