"The best valentine wine - such great value for money too!"
"We had this as an aperitif at Christmas and it went so well with everything. We will definitely reorder soon."
How it's made
The combination of classic Loire red grape varieties Gamay and Cabernet Franc provide a real flavour of the region while the use of the traditional Champagne method gives depth and subtlety. The wine spends a year on wooden lattes and another year in a limestone cellar where bottles are riddled (turned) by hand. Grapes are grown on 45 year old vines and hand harvested at full ripeness. Fermentation is slow and steady. We've worked with this vineyard over decades, and never fail to be surprised by the innate talent of both father Remy and son Raphael.
In the glass
Pale rose colour, expressive wild berry fruit nose and a fresh, elegant palate. Fine bubbles, well-integrated with lots of forest fruit flavours and a long, elegant finish.
Father and son Remy and Raphael Luneau are old friends and produce wines that are absolute stand outs across the board in their tiny Loire vineyard. The vines literally start outside their backdoor and they work relentlessly to ensure the grapes, the soil and the land are in perfect condition. Highly recommended Wine at Home special.
