About the wine:
Between white flowers and orchard fruits, this crémant unfurls a fresh, well-balanced structure. A simple, tasteful bubble, ideal as an aperitif with a bouquet of shrimp, for example.
About the domain :
Managed by the younger generation, Stéphane, Julien and Vincent Denis, who arrived in 2003, 2006 and 2009 respectively, this is a family business that dates back to 1920; 5 ha at its origins, 90 ha today. A flagship estate in the Haut-Layon region, renowned in particular for its red wines, but also very much at ease with white and rosé wines. A (very) safe bet.
