    100% Cabernet Franc
     
    Review:
    "Currently one of the most serious Cremant producers in the Loire, this bottle is made from 100% cabernet franc grapes, a grape normally used for still red Loire wines. It's a pretty pink colour, lively and refreshing with a four-square quite structured palate."
    Rose Murray Brown, The Scotsman, February 2014
     
    Production:
    The grapes used in production come from the Montreuil Bellay and Puy Notre Dame area, where the terroir is chalky-clay, well-known for its ability to produce top quality Cabernet Franc.
     
    The grapes are entirely hand-picked in small 25kg crates and pneumatic pressing occurs immediately after gathering (160kg of grapes gives 100l of juice). Vinification occurs in stainless steel thermoregulated tanks and the second fermentation is drawn in the bottle (a traditional method).
    The wine matures on its lee
    s for a minimum of 18 months in freestone cellars across 6km.
     
    Loire Valley, France:
    Known as The Garden of France, the Loire Valley is plentiful in flora and fauna. The history of winemaking in the region stretches back to 500 AD, with the vines in Sancerre among the first to be officially recognised.
     
    At the heart of Sancerre is Château de Fontaine Audon, a stunning 15 hectare vineyard with characteristic 'Silex' soils, owned by Langlois-Chateau, and one of only four châteaux in the Sancerre region. This site, along with four others in some of the Loire's most prestigious appellations, form the 73 hectares of Langlois-Chateau's vineyard holdings.
     
    Their Saumur vineyard was one of the first in France to receive the Terra Vitis certification, which guarantees the vines are grown, and wines produced, with the utmost respect for nature and the environment. Translated from Latin, it reveals the inseparable link between terroir and vine.
    With a romantic family history behind it, Langlois-Chateau, founded following the marriage of Edouard Langlois and Jeanne Chateau in 1885, has been specialising in the sparkling wines of the Loire for more than 130 years.
     
    Today, under the watchful eye of François-Régis de Fougeroux, elegant sparkling Crémant de Loire wines are expertly crafted from the chalky Silex soils, with grapes hand-picked before vinification by varietal and terroir.
     
    The blending process can include up to 10% of reserve wines, before a minimum of 24 months ageing in Langlois-Chateau's freestone cellars at their historical St-Hilaire St-Florent site overlooking the Loire River. The result is a Crémant that is emblematic of the region; charmingly refined, fresh and structured.
