Description
History
Chapin & Landais was founded in 1848 as a subsidiary of the renowned crémant producer Bouvet-Ladubay. The headquarters is located in Saumur, on the Loire, known not only for its sparkling wine, but also for its castle and riding academy.
Grapes used
100% Cabernet Franc
Production method
It is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine essentially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it has in common with the rest of the wines) takes place in fermentation vats; the second, however, takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second process, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles upon uncorking). The wine rests on its yeasts for 60 months before being released on the market.
Alcohol content
12.5%
Tasting notes
Salmon pink color with persistent perlage. On the nose, aromas of red and blackcurrants, raspberries, strawberries, vine peaches and quinces characterize this complex and fruity sparkling wine. It is well balanced, harmonious and above all juicy on the palate.
Possible combinations
Excellent in combination with raw fish, tuna tartare, sushi and fried foods, but also with mortadella and other cured meats or with platters of medium-aged cheeses.
