What's in a name? In 1886 Alcide Monmousseau founded a winery that specialized entirely in creating and raising Sparkling wines in the classic way as in Champagne where the wine gets its pearls on the bottle. In the shadow of the famous castle of Chenonceau, huge cellars were dug out of one of the largest Tuffo layers in France. This white rock was not only used to build castles and abbeys, but is also ideal as a thermoregulatory material for the storage and aging of sparkling wines. The wines therefore receive a long maturation sur lattes, making them among the finest and most balanced in the region. They also pride themselves on exceptional mastery of blending. Their Crémant de Loire therefore consists of 6 different grapes, all of which contribute to the ideal assembly.
