The 2021 Brut Nature Méthode Traditionnelle, bottled in 2022 and disgorged in August 2024 without dosage, was matured in demi-muids or large barrels. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of exotic fruits, pear and herbs mingled with a lovely reduction, it’s round and sappy, fresh and delicate, with a lively, ethereal finish. It could gain depth and raciness with one or two years in the cellar.
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Within France, the one region most closely associated with fine white and rosé wines is surely the Loire Valley. With over eight controlled appellations, and a relatively large expanse of land covering this wide valley, the Loire Valley is an ideal location for wineries wishing to produce large quantities of excellent quality vines for their wine production. Indeed, this region has been associated with excellent white wines for over a thousand years, with it once being the favorite wine region for the crowned heads of England, France and beyond. Today, it produces a wide range of white wines, and several rosé and red varieties also. It is also widely celebrated for being home to some of France's most lively and fruity sparkling crémant wines, which more than match those produced in nearby Champagne.

A full, creamy sparkler that shows signs of maturity, with forest floor leafiness and toasted hazelnut inflecting a core of apple and intense saltiness. Gentle-edged yet lively, offering concentration that builds. Lemon oil glides through the finish, with bitter pithiness offsetting the lushness. Drink now through 2028. 2,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.
