Champalou Brut Non-vintage 750ml
DescriptionChampalou brings their expertise with Loire Valley terroir to this exceptional sparkling wine, where traditional methods and quality fruit create bubbles that rival more famous appellations. This Brut showcases the potential for world-class sparkling wine from unexpected sources.
The wine presents fine, persistent bubbles and a pale golden hue. The nose offers expressive aromas of quince and green apple, typical of Loire Chenin Blanc, enhanced by notes of white flowers and honey. As it develops, hints of brioche and almonds emerge from lees aging, while mineral undertones add complexity. The palate delivers both richness and precision; creamy mousse carries flavors of citrus and stone fruit, while bright acidity maintains freshness and drive.

This Brut demonstrates that great terroir and careful winemaking transcend categories - the same attention that creates their superb still wines results in sparkling wine of real distinction. For those exploring beyond Champagne, this bottle offers complexity and authenticity that justify its consideration alongside more famous names. Quality bubbles with genuine character.
