Unveiling the Ivoire's Treasures: A Tasting Journey
The Louis de Grenelle Brut Ivoire pours a beautiful pale gold colour, hinting at the sunshine-kissed grapes used in its creation.

A touch of minerality adds a refreshing edge, hinting at the wine's terroir.
On the palate, the Brut Ivoire delivers a burst of freshness, with the lively bubbles dancing on your tongue. The creamy texture envelops the flavours, showcasing a harmonious blend of citrus and orchard fruits like pear and apple.

- Canapés and Light Bites: The Brut Ivoire's effervescent nature makes it ideal for an apéritif or alongside canapés. Pair it with smoked salmon blinis, goat cheese crostini with fig jam, or vegetable samosas for a delightful start to your meal.
- Salads: Salads dressed with light vinaigrettes find a perfect match in the Brut Ivoire.

Beyond the Bottle: The Art of Saumur Sparkling Wines
The Louis de Grenelle Brut Ivoire is a prime example of the quality sparkling wines produced in the Saumur region. Located in the Loire Valley, Saumur boasts a long history of winemaking, with sparkling wines playing a significant role. The region's cool climate and chalky soils are ideally suited for Chenin Blanc, the primary grape variety used in Saumur wines. The traditional method, also known as Méthode Traditionnelle, is employed in the production of Saumur sparkling wines, mirroring the same process used for Champagne. This meticulous method allows the development of fine bubbles and complex flavours, resulting in elegant and refreshing sparklers like the Louis de Grenelle Brut Ivoire.
