Origin

Montlouis-sur-Loire, Loire Valley, France. The wine is produced within the Montlouis appellation, known for its high-quality Chenin Blanc wines.

Variety

100% Chenin Blanc grape variety.

Production

The Montlouis Brut Tradition is crafted using traditional méthode traditionnelle (traditional method) for sparkling wines. The process includes a secondary fermentation in the bottle to develop fine bubbles and complexity. The wine is aged on lees to enhance texture and flavor depth before disgorgement and final bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale golden color with fine, persistent bubbles.
  • Aroma: Fresh and vibrant nose with notes of white flowers, citrus fruits, green apple, and subtle hints of brioche from lees aging.
  • Palate: Crisp and lively with balanced acidity, flavors of lemon zest, pear, and a mineral undertone. The mousse is creamy and elegant, finishing with a refreshing, dry finish.

Food pairings

  • Seafood dishes such as oysters, scallops, and shrimp.
  • Light appetizers including goat cheese, smoked salmon, and fresh salads.
  • Asian cuisine with subtle spice, like sushi or Thai dishes.
  • Celebratory occasions as an aperitif or with light poultry dishes.
