Cremant de Loire - Domaine de Veilloux

Region: Loire

Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin & Chardonnay

Michel & Sylviane Quenioux bought the Domaine in 1994 and immediately converted it to organic, finally achieving certification in 1998.  Their hand-picked grapes are pressed and fermented at 11C in concrete vats with a secondary fermentation in bottle (champagne method). 

After a year, the bottles are disgorged, and the sugar and acidity balanced before being finally sealed.  This wine has a lovely brioche character but also freshness and depth and a rich mouthfeel.  Pairs well with St Felicien, young Langres or Lingot des Causses.

ABV: 12%
