Their Excellence Crémant de Loire is their signature bottling, delivering world-class quality and finesse that rivals many Champagnes, but at a fraction of the cost. It is a fantastic example of the quality achievable in the heart of Saumur. This wine is made using the exact same time-consuming process as Champagne whereby the second fermentation takes place inside the bottle to create the fine, natural bubbles. The blend is based on the region's noble white grapes: Chenin Blanc (for freshness, structure, and minerality) and Chardonnay (for finesse and elegance). Pale gold in colour with a delicate, persistent stream of fine bubbles. The nose is bright and inviting with aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, acacia flower, and a hint of fresh baked bread. Clean and refreshing, with vibrant acidity and soft, creamy bubbles, the palate offers pure orchard fruit notes and a dry, persistent finish.

Named for the year the house was founded in Saumur, this Rosé is crafted with the same commitment to the Méthode Traditionnelle (Traditional Method) as the great wines of Champagne, resulting in a fine, persistent mousse and superb complexity. The 1851 Rosé is made from the Cabernet Franc grape variety (often blended with a small amount of Grolleau), the key red grape of the Loire, which lends this Rosé a much more delicate, crisp red-fruit profile than many other sparkling Rosés. Delicate salmon pink in colour with elegant, persistent bubbles, the 1851 Rosé displays attractive aromas of fresh red berries, notably raspberry and wild strawberry, complemented by subtle notes of vineyard peach and a touch of rose petal. Clean, racy, and dry, the palate mirrors the nose with juicy red fruit, excellent acidity, and a creamy texture that carries through to a long, refreshing finish.
