Domaine De Nerleux Cremant De Loire Rosé

Crémant de Loire Rosé is happiness. The glittering copper rose gold color, the soft pelage and flavors all bring a smile to your face as does this lovely sparkling from Domaine de Nerleux.

Domaine De Nerleux Cremant De Loire Rosé La Folie Des Loups NV

Located in the heart of Saumur-Champigny, Loire, this domaine has a steep winemaking history - five centuries and nine generations of winegrowers.  Nerleux means “black wolves” which used to roam the vineyards and estate. This is homage to the nobility and wild spirit of the wolves that left their mark on the estate, the vines and the domaine. The estate has been making fabulous dry sparkling from Cabernet Franc, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay for ages and they truly know how to make fun sparkling that you JUST want to share with family and friends.

The delightful aromas of wild strawberry and raspberry, pomegranate, zesty lemon, bread dough and honeysuckle are inviting. The perfumed berries all compliment the baked apple, pronounced lemon zest and the pastry cream into a bread dough goodness that just caresses your mouth ending in a rhubarb pie note. The lip smacking acidity, creamy mouthfeel and freshness leaves you wanting more. It’s so crisp and zesty acidity are typical of the Loire (which I adore).

It’s the perfect happy hour apéro - it’s bootylicious bubbly bliss. For a nibbly pair it with cranberry goat cheese, peppered salami or mushroom ricotta crostini.
