2020 Louise Chéreau (Vices & Vertus) Orgueil Méthode Traditionnelle Brut Loire Valley, France
$30.99
This is a pre-order item expected to arrive late June 2026.
Vinification – This sparkling wine is made entirely in-house using the méthode traditionelle. After initial fermentation in underground cement tanks, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in bottle and is aged on the lees for fifteen months. The dosage of 5.7g/L (Brut) was chosen to accent the freshness and aromatics and was done with grape must from estate fruit. The grapes all come from the 2020 harvest in this release of Orgueil. Disgorgement was done by hand at the winery in June 19th, 2024. The liqueur de tirage is made from an older vintage of their very old-vine Comte Leloup Muscadet.
