CRÉMANT DE LOIRE BLANC “LA FOLIE DES LOUPS” DOMAINE DE NERLEUX

This cuvée of fine bubbles will seduce you with its aromatic freshness and gustatory tone! The fine bubbles rise in the glass and carry with them all the aromatic freshness of the Chardonnay and Chenin grape varieties: white fruits (apples, pears, etc.), citrus fruits (lemons, grapefruit), flowers (lime blossom, acacia, etc.) and dried fruits (almonds, hazelnuts, etc.). The palate, like a brioche that is still warm, is crispy by its aromas, and fresh by its gustatory tone.
A word from the winemaker, Amélie Neau: Pale yellow crémant with golden reflections animated by very fine bubbles. The nose combines red fruit and woody aromas. Harmonious, well-balanced and long on the palate, with a freshness that is characteristic of the appellation.
