Bouvet Ladubay – Crémant de Loire Brut Blanc de Blancs 2021

This elegant Crémant de Loire from the renowned house of Bouvet Ladubay is a testament to the art of sparkling winemaking in the Saumur region. Crafted from a blend of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, this wine undergoes a unique aging process in the cool, deep sandstone caves of Saumur. This subterranean maturation imparts a distinctive character, contributing to the wine’s exceptional finesse and an extremely elegant perlage – a stream of fine, persistent bubbles that dance in the glass.

The Chardonnay contributes elegance and finesse, while the Chenin Blanc adds a characteristic note of vibrant acidity and minerality. This harmonious blend of grape varieties and terroir creates a truly exceptional sparkling wine that is sure to delight the senses.
