Crémant de Loire Brut AOC Marquis de Gilbourg, Château du Fresne
Download this wine's tasting notes
Superb sparkling wine from the Loire Valley that makes a perfect alternative to Champagne.
Château du Fresne is a stand out vineyard in the Loire Valley. Grower David Maugin uses traditional methods to produce this wonderfully elegant wine filled with fine, delicate bubbles, achieved in part by ageing the wine on its lees for 36 months. The work that goes into producing this classic Crémant is evident in the drinking. Grapes are hand harvested and carried in small crates to avoid damage, and the wine goes through a second fermentation ‘sur lattes’ as well as artisanal stirring and disgorgement - exactly like a Champagne.
Delicate white flower nose, orchard fruit aromas including green apple and pear with a toasted biscuit aromas finish. A superb alternative to Champagne and a great crowd pleaser.
About the vineyard
Run by three brothers, this family vineyard has been working using organic and low-intervention methods for generations. Production is small, and the quality of the wines is exceptional.
