CRÉMANT DE LOIRE ROSÉ “FOLIE DES LOUPS”DOMAINE DE NERLEUX

A fine bubble of freshness and minerality. A pale pink colour with a fine string of bubbles, a generous nose of red fruit and a full, unctuous palate full of freshness with aromas of cherry, vanilla, brioche and acacia.
A tenacious nose of red and black fruit that brings a lovely fruity freshness. A velvety mouthfeel enhanced by fine, sparkling bubbles. The lively, subtle aromas of rose, rosemary, cherry and softwood underpin this interesting liveliness, softened by vanilla and liquorice.

The lively, subtle aromas of rose, rosemary, cherry and softwood underpin this interesting liveliness, softened by vanilla and liquorice.

Wine tasting
The colour has the delicacy of raspberry and the colour of Loire salmon. The effervescence forms a delicate creamy cordon.
The nose is tenacious, with red and black fruit (raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant) adding a lovely fruity freshness.
On the palate, the impression is velvety, even unctuous. Only the fine bubbles, sparkling with mischief, excite the taster’s satiated palate. The lively, subtle aromas of rose, rosemary, cherry and softwood complement the interesting liveliness softened by the vanilla.
Food & wine pairing: As an aperitif, or with spicy salmon and most red fruit desserts.
