Our Professional Notes
Oscar Garcia Moncada, 67 Wine Buyer, writes: On the nose, you’ll encounter an enticing bouquet of wild red berries—raspberries, strawberries, and red currants. The palate continues the red berry theme, delivering a tangy, fruit-forward experience complemented by a delightful saline minerality that adds complexity. The finish is crisp and dry, with a bright, natural acidity that makes this wine a fantastic choice as an aperitif or a versatile companion to food.
Classified as a Brut with a dosage of 7 g/L, this Loire sparkler is ideal for playful food and wine pairings, from picnic favorites to sushi, and even Indian and Latin cuisines.
