Brut, Val de Loire, Samur from Louis Foulon. Methode Traditionnelle. Cremant de Loire. An excellent wine.
A good Cremant de Loire has tight, persistent effervescence (a defining advantage of methode traditionelle wines over those made by other techniques), and a complex, nutty, gently honeyed nose. Chenin Blanc in these wines is responsible for floral aromas than those found in Champagne, and are emphasized in those wines subject to extended lees contact (most Cremant spends at least 9 months in bottle during and following its secondary fermentation).
