Saumur Mousseux, Brut, Deligeroy

THE WINE Deligeroy is emblematic of our know-how in producing fine, sparkling Loire wines according to the Méthode Traditionnelle, developed since 1953.

TERROIR Clay-limestone soil, along with a subtle blend of Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Chardonnay have given his wine its unique character.

VINIFICATION Pneumatic pressing that gives the best juices. Alcoholic fermentation at low temperature (18°C) to preserve all the aromas. Second fermentation in bottle according to the Méthode Traditionnelle.

MATURING Aged for a minimum of 16 months on the lees in the tufa cellars, where the wine continues ageing, protected from light and temperature variations.

VARIETALS Chenin blanc Cabernet franc Chardonnay

SERVING Serve chilled.

TASTING NOTES Saumur Brut Deligeroy has an attractive straw yellow colour. The bubbles are fine and the bead is regular. The floral bouquet is typical of Chenin Blanc. This sparkling wine is fresh and lively on the palate, with a very elegant aftertaste. Despite a very low sugar level, this wine is light and well-balanced.

FOOD PAIRING Saumur Brut is an excellent aperitif. Its crisp, lively character makes it the ideal wine with which to start off the evening. Cuvee Deligeroy is a perfect choice to accompany all starters but also fishes and poultry cooked with cream.
