A delightful sparkling wine from the Loire Valley, the Louis de Grenelle - Saumur Blanc - Grand Cuvée offers a captivating journey for the senses.  Available online and at our shops in Liphook and Petersfield, this charming sparkler promises an unforgettable experience.

Tasting Notes:

  • Visual: Poured into a flute, the Louis de Grenelle - Saumur Blanc - Grand Cuvée boasts a beautiful pale yellow-gold colour. As it sits in the glass, a thin and continuous stream of bubbles rises persistently, creating a captivating visual dance.
  • Nose: The initial aromas are inviting and fresh, dominated by ripe stone fruits like apricot and peach. These fruity notes are soon complemented by a touch of complexity, with hints of brioche and roasted hazelnuts emerging. As the wine opens up further, delicate floral notes of acacia and lime blossom peek through, adding a touch of elegance to the bouquet.
  • Palate: The first sip of the Louis de Grenelle - Saumur Blanc - Grand Cuvée is a delightful explosion of flavours. The palate is both lively and creamy, with a refreshing acidity that cuts through the richness of the fruit and bready characters. The flavours mirror the nose, with ripe stone fruits taking centre stage, balanced by hints of citrus – candied lemon and a touch of lime zest. The creamy texture adds a touch of indulgence, while the persistent, fine bubbles provide a delightful lift on the finish.

Food Pairing:

The Louis de Grenelle - Saumur Blanc - Grand Cuvée's versatility makes it a fantastic choice for a variety of dishes. Here are some perfect food pairings to elevate your dining experience:

  • Canapés and Starters:  This sparkler pairs beautifully with light appetisers and finger foods.  Smoked salmon blinis with crème fraîche and dill, cured meats with marinated artichokes, or goat cheese crostini with fig jam will all be perfectly complemented by the wine's bright acidity and creamy texture.
  • Seafood:  The Louis de Grenelle - Saumur Blanc - Grand Cuvée shines when paired with fresh seafood.  Try it with grilled scallops, pan-seared halibut with lemon butter sauce, or a classic moules marinières (mussels in white wine broth). The wine's acidity will cut through the richness of the seafood, while the fruit flavours will enhance its natural sweetness.
  • Salads: Salads with grilled chicken, shrimp, or goat cheese are another excellent pairing for this versatile wine. The wine's acidity will help to dress the salad, while the fruit flavours will complement the other ingredients.
  • Desserts: While sparkling wines are typically enjoyed before or during a meal, the Louis de Grenelle - Saumur Blanc - Grand Cuvée's touch of sweetness makes it a delightful accompaniment to certain desserts.  Try it with fruit tarts, lemon meringue pie, or even a cheese board featuring milder cheeses like Brie or Comté.

Beyond the Tasting Note:

The Louis de Grenelle - Saumur Blanc - Grand Cuvée is a fantastic example of a well-crafted Saumur Blanc. Produced by the Maison Louis de Grenelle, a family-run winery with a rich history dating back to 1859, this wine embodies the traditions and expertise of the Loire Valley.

The grapes used for this Saumur Blanc are typically Chenin Blanc, a grape variety known for its versatility and ability to produce wines ranging from dry to sweet. The grapes are grown in the chalky soils of the Saumur region, which contribute to the wine's distinctive minerality and refreshing acidity.

The traditional method (méthode traditionelle) is used to produce the Louis de Grenelle - Saumur Blanc - Grand Cuvée. This involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which creates the wine's delightful bubbles.
