Canon Brut “Roche”

Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
Terroir: Clay shale and weathered shale

Vinification: Harvesting by hand into perforated crates. Separation of the first and last juices. Slow pressing. Traditional method (first fermentation in a vat, second fermentation in the bottle). Aged on laths. Disgorging with no added sugar.

Wine profile: This 100% Chardonnay Crémant de Loire is surprisingly generous, with accents of pastry and ripe fruit and a lovely tension. Aging on laths gives it a nice consistency and a superb aromatic complexity.

Tasting note: The refined, gourmand nose has a comforting pastry dimension.
On the palate, the first impression is both complex and generous; you are not left disappointed. Aging in oak barrels adds complexity to this Chardonnay’s framework and helps make it good for laying down, highlighted by a lovely tension of fresh fruit.
