2023 Musset-Roullier Crémant de Loire "Noctambule"

A blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, farmed on schist and limestone soils in Anjou.  Farming is certified sustainable with organic certification expected with the 2025 vintage. Hand harvested, native yeast fermentation, low sulphur. Serge Roullier and Gilles Musset combined their family estates on the banks of the Loire River in 1994. Located between Angers and Nantes, this family-run estate in the petite village of La Pommeraye enjoys a particularly warm microclimate, which helps to push grapes to perfect ripeness, even in cooler years. Lemon, green apple and toasted brioche on the nose. Very fizzy, clean and dry, with a fairly light body and a long, mineral-driven finish.
