Langlois
Crémant de Loire Brut Reserve
Loire Valley, France
Langlois owns and manages 175 acres of the best AOC vineyards in the Loire Valley. For their Crémants they have an intensely terroir-focused approach of drawing the best characteristics from 6 distinct vineyard areas and soil types in order to create complex and refined wines.
Grapes are hand harvested in small bins and pressed gently. Only the ‘first press juice’ is used (the ‘cuvée’). Each parcel and each variety is vinified separately. Aging lasts at least 36 months (versus 12 months required by the appellation) (18 months for the rosé). Reserve wines are incorporated in the final blend which is an extremely rare practice in the world of crémant.
