Langlois Crémant de Loire Brut Réserve NV Review
The Loire Valley has been making wine from the Chenin Blanc variety for centuries. The original bubblies of Vouvray from this grape were called, what is now in vogue, pétillant-naturel (pét-nat) or mousseux. So it is only natural that we give a nod to the region. Made from 100 percent Chenin Blanc sourced from six distinct vineyards across the winery’s 175 acres, this wine shows a specific sense of place. The soft nose offers hints of roasted honey and a whisper of herbs. The palate has a calm perlage with a tight concentration of fruit and a slight grip. The finish is balanced and delightful.
