The Loire Valley, located in the centre of France, is one of the country's most popular wine regions. A wide variety of fresh and fruity wines are produced here, starting with special grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. The one offered here by Domaine Dhommé is a Crémant de Loire Extra Brut, i.e. a classic French sparkling wine produced outside the borders of Champagne. It is composed of 80% Chenin Blanc grapes, plus 20% Chardonnay. Organic production, in line with environmental and health protection. After fermentation in stainless steel, the base wine undergoes 'earth' filtration, using a fossil conglomerate of fine-shelled unicellular algae, ground as finely as flour. After bottling, frothing and subsequent ageing on the lees in the bottle for about 12 months begins. In the glass, it has a brilliant greenish yellow colour with a delicate fine effervescence. On the nose, hints of white flowers, fresh fruit and light citrus hints can be perceived. In the mouth, then, thanks to the dosage of sugar content, the wine is pleasantly fresh and has good persistence. Ideal as an aperitif, it can also accompany a light meal with fish dishes. More generally, its freshness and good persistence make it an ideal companion for simple and delicate dishes.
