Domaine du Landreau Crémant de Loire Morin Rosé

Non-Vintage

Thirst-quenching sparkling rosé made from Cabernet Franc.

Winemakers for four generations, it’s the work of the Morin family behind Domaine du Landreau. Located within the Coteaux du Layon appellation, their vineyards extend across several famous Loire wine producing villages. The vines here are cared for meticulously and harvest is done by hand with several passes through the vineyard so that only grapes with optimum ripeness are picked. Slow fermentation allows the wines to develop more character before they are rested for three years to ensure they are served at the optimum time.

This pink fizz is fresh with fine bubbles and displays aromas of delicate red fruits such as raspberries and strawberries with a slight floral undertone. Made from Cabnernet Franc this wine is crisp and dry and is the perfect aperitif. Excellent value too.

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.
