Chateau de l’Eperonniere Crémant de Loire Blanc 2022 750ml

From Mathieu Tijou comes this dry sparkling wine that has the same ebullient, forthright charm as the man. It is built on Chenin Blanc (60%) with Chardonnay (35%) and a touch of Cabernet Franc (5%) from the domaine’s Anjou vineyards in Beaulieu-sur-Layon. Crisp and mineral with the natural rich “earthiness” of the Chenin, this wine benefits from lees ageing exceeding three years, comparable to those from the Champagne region.
