Sainsbury’s Crémant De Loire, Taste the Difference
Crémant de Loire is a wonderful alternative to Champagne and is made in the same way using the ‘méthode traditionelle’. This wine is rich on the palate yet has a zesty apple freshness.
From the chalky soils of the beautiful Loire Valley, this elegant sparkling wine is made by Bouvet Ladubay, a winery founded in 1851. The soft ‘tuffeau’ stone of the region has been excavated to create miles of cellars, perfect for ageing this complex wine.
