Cremant de Loire
Langlois Brut Réserve is a standout in the world of Crémant, crafted from estate fruit sourced across six distinct vineyard areas in the Loire Valley. Grapes are hand harvested in small bins and gently pressed, with only the first press juice used. Each parcel and variety is vinified separately, and reserve wines are incorporated into the final blend, an uncommon practice in Crémant. The wine is aged for a minimum of 36 months, far beyond the appellation’s 12-month requirement, resulting in a complex, refined sparkling wine with remarkable depth and elegance.
