Tasting Notes
This is one of our go-to sparkling wines in the shop for value for money. 70% Chenin Blanc, 30% Chardonnay from the Loire Valley in France. It's made in the Traditional Method, otherwise known as Methode Champenoise, just like in Champagne. Dry and fine in style with citrus notes upfront and elements of complex bread-like yeastiness to fill the palate. You can't go past it and neither can our customers. - Chris L
At present, Monmousseau is one of the leading producers of sparkling wines in Touraine. This family owned business started in 1886 has been producing remarkable quality and value 'Methode Traditionelle " sparkling wines from the various central Loire Valley appellations for more than 100 years. Production and ageing is carried out in 15kms of transformed limestone quarries left abandoned after yielding the stone used to build many of the famous Chateaux of the area. The cellar maintains a constant temperature of 12oC and perfect humidity for the aging of sparkling wines. Over time still wines have been added to the range and these are also produced in a fresh, pure, fruit forward style. Monousseau's continued drive for quality combines both modern and traditional techniques, including the 'Methode Tradionelle ", which ensures wines are aged in a horizontal position for over two years following secondary fermentation. - Importer Note
