Louis de Grenelle Platine Blanc Crémant de Loire: A Sparkling Gem from the Loire Valley

Uncork a touch of luxury with Louis de Grenelle Platine Blanc Crémant de Loire, a delightful sparkling wine available online and at our shops in Liphook and Petersfield. This exquisite Crémant hails from the esteemed Loire Valley in France, renowned for its captivating white wines.

Tasting Profile: A Symphony of Flavours

Pour yourself a glass of Louis de Grenelle Platine Blanc and be greeted by a vibrant pale gold colour, flecked with lively bubbles. On the nose, a refreshing bouquet unfolds, reminiscent of white flowers like acacia and honeysuckle, intertwined with hints of ripe orchard fruits such as pear, white peach, and a touch of citrus. As the bubbles dance on your palate, a delightful wave of flavours emerges. The wine boasts a crisp and clean character, balanced by a touch of subtle sweetness. The gentle fizz adds a touch of weight and creaminess, while the acidity cuts through, leaving a long-lasting, refreshing finish.

Grape Varietals and Winemaking Process

Louis de Grenelle Platine Blanc is a proud product of the Loire Valley. It's crafted primarily from Chardonnay grapes, known for their elegance and finesse, with a touch of Chenin Blanc adding a layer of complexity and minerality. The grapes are meticulously selected and undergo a meticulous winemaking process. The traditional method, also known as the méthode traditionelle, is employed, mirroring the very same technique used to create Champagne. This meticulous process involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which allows the bubbles to develop naturally and contributes to the wine's complexity and finesse.

Food Pairings: A Versatile Delight

The Louis de Grenelle Platine Blanc Crémant de Loire is a versatile sparkling wine that shines on a variety of occasions. Here are some delectable food pairings to elevate your culinary experience:

• Appetisers: Kick off your meal with a touch of sophistication. Pair this Crémant with light appetisers like smoked salmon canapés, oysters on the half shell, or a platter of fresh cheeses and cured meats.
• Seafood: The wine's crisp acidity and subtle sweetness complement an array of seafood dishes. Enjoy it with grilled fish, creamy seafood pastas, or delicate shellfish.
• Salads: Liven up your salads with a glass of Louis de Grenelle Platine Blanc. The wine's refreshing character pairs beautifully with light summer salads or heartier options with grilled chicken or goat cheese.
• Desserts: Don't relegate this sparkling wine solely to the savoury side of the table. Its touch of sweetness makes it a delightful partner for lighter desserts like fruit tarts, crème brûlée, or even a cheese platter with accompaniments like honey and fruit.
