Domaine du Landreau Crémant de Loire Morin Brut

Non-Vintage

Crowd pleasing sparkling from the Loire.

Within the appellation of Coteaux du Layon, Domaine du Landreau’s history spans back four generations. The Morin family believe that the best winemaking begins in the fields, tending the vines respectfully, with fermentation taking place low (temperature-wise) and slow, getting the best out of the grapes.

A wonderful Cremant from the Loire, made from a blend of Chenin and Cabernet Franc. This elegant white Cremant has notes of lemon balm, Apple, hazelnut and almond in a soft, silky body. It is aged two years on the lees to build up the flavours. Well-rounded and crisp, a perfect choice for any lovers of traditional method sparkling.

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is the parent grape of both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, loved for its savoury, bell pepper-like flavours, medium-high acidity and mouth-watering red fruit taste. France is the largest producer of Cabernet Franc, but it is grown around the world, notably Italy and the USA.

Primarily used in Bordeaux Blends (with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot), you’ll also find single-varietal Cabernet Franc wines. The most well-known appellations for Cabernet Franc are Chinon and Bourgueil within the Loire Valley.

Medium-bodied wines like Cabernet Franc can pair with a wide variety of foods due to their acidity and slightly reduced tannin. Enjoy alongside anything tomato-based, dishes containing fresh herbs or vinegar-based sauces.

The Loire Valley

The heart of France, The Loire Valley follows a 630-mile course from a source near Beaujolais to the Atlantic Ocean, and is famous for its natural beauty, magnificent châteaux, and great wine.

The region can be split into four main areas – lower, middle, central and upper Loire – each with numerous appellations and styles of wines. Whilst the plantings here are varied, you can simplify things by understanding that the Loire Valley is dominated by four major grape varieties – Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne and Cabernet Franc.

The Pays Nantais (Lower Loire) is all about white wines, notably Muscadet – the crisp, dry, sea-salt-y white made from Melon de Bourgogne. The Middle Loire – Anjou, Saumur & Touraine – is where Chenin Blanc gets into its prime (Savennières, Vouvray), where sparkling wines rule (Crémant de Loire), and where Cabernet Franc takes centre stage (Chinon, Saumur-Champigny). Central Loire is home to the most recognizable appellations for quality Sauvignon Blanc – Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé. The Upper Loire or – Auvergne – is an ancient wine growing area of France, but a little harder to track down. Auvergne reds are usually made from Gamay and Pinot Noir, whilst the whites will often be Chardonnay.
