Domaine Chantemerle Crémant de Loire C sur C Certain
A memento from my visit to Domaine Chantemerle in July’23, it was time to properly enjoy this lovely bottle…
Made from the regional style for Crémant, a blend 60% Chenin Blanc & 40% Pinot Noir, aged in the traditional method aged for 36 months sur lie.
Pours into the glass a glistening pale straw color with a fine, persistent mousse. Bright aromas of lemon, quince, tart green apple, white peach, cherry are complemented by notes of chamomile, toast, honey, and almond. The first sip is fresh and lively, with a creamy texture and a zippy acidity and mineraltiy showing its telltale Chenin character. The flavors of citrus and stone fruit are joined by hints of toast and spice. The finish is very delicate and gentle, long finish.
A crowd pleasing wine for apéro paired with shrimp toasts, fried chicken bites with aioli or herbed cucumber salad. A delightful QPR that you will want in your cellar.

Notice the label, Edwidge designed it herself because it was her and her brother that revived Crémant de Loire and it needed the royal treatment. The sparkling sold out immediately and as a result they named it C sur C“c'est sur, c'est certain” that means that we continue to offer our customers. The queen of fine bubbles of the Loire deserved her velvet dress hence the labels texture and design..
