De Chanceny Brut Crémant de Loire

Great rise in temperament, energy and quality here from the rich and generous 2021 vintage to raise the Crémant bar for De Chanceny and the Loire. A combination of high level phenolics and sweet botanical bitters gather where texture and elasticity exist in a sparkling vaccum. The most Champenoise style for a local sparkling wine and of truly fine mousse as well. Lime all over the finish. Last tasted July 2023. Score – 89. (Michael Godel, winealign.com)
