Lea & Sandeman review

‘From a small family-run Domaine in the heart of Chenin Blanc territory, (Coteaux du Layon) we have recently discovered this beautifully crafted Crémant de Loire. This traditionally made sparkling wine is vinified from a large proportion of Chenin Blanc, with some Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc – all grown on a mix of Schist, Clay, and Quartz.’ L&S

Other reviews

‘This really is a top-notch Crémant. Charming nose displays evocative toasty notes along with touches of bruised apple and spice. Once in the mouth it doesn’t disappoint, with a fine mousse, persistent honey-dipped apple flavours and wonderful balance. Cracking stuff!’  92 Decanter Magazine

Domaine des Hauts Perrays

Owned and managed by Claire Le Fournis, Domaine des Hauts Perrays is situated in the Loire Valley, more specifically in the region of Coteaux du Layon.

All grapes in the vineyard at Domaine des Hauts Perrays are hand harvested, and there are only 4 members of full-time staff at the property, so it’s a very small, close-knit team.

Due to its proximity to the river Layon, the soil at Domaine des Hauts Perrays contains much schist and quartz, which lends a distinct mineral characteristic to the wines produced here.
