Introduction:
NV Elisa Crémant de Loire is an elegant and lively sparkling wine from the Loire Valley, blending Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay into a refined traditional-method bottling. It’s crafted to deliver the celebratory sparkle and sophistication of Champagne at a more accessible price point, while highlighting the freshness and finesse of Loire Valley fruit.

Terroir:
Produced under the Crémant de Loire AOC, this wine comes from vineyards planted in clay-rich soils within the Centre Loire. The region benefits from a semi-continental climate with Atlantic influence—warm, sunny days ensure ripeness, while cool evenings preserve crisp acidity and aromatic lift. These conditions, paired with extended lees aging, allow the wine to express both fruit purity and textural complexity.

Appearance:
Pale straw with glimmers of green. Fine, persistent bubbles rise in delicate streams, creating a graceful mousse and visual lift.

Nose:
Bright aromas of pear and apple are joined by almond, toasted brioche, and citrus blossom. A faint mineral note underscores the fruit, adding freshness and precision.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity driving crisp flavors of orchard fruit—pear, apple, and lemon zest. Lees aging contributes a creamy, rounded texture, accented by almond and fresh brioche. The interplay between fruit, minerality, and mousse gives balance and sophistication without heaviness.

Finish:
Clean and elegant, with lingering notes of white fruit, citrus, toasted nuts, and saline minerality that leave the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Meat dish: Oysters on the half shell or seared scallops with lemon butter

• Vegetarian option: Asparagus with hollandaise or a goat cheese and herb tart

• Cheese pairing: Fresh chèvre or aged Comté to complement both the fruit and brioche notes

Overall Impression:
The NV Elisa Crémant de Loire is a sparkling wine that captures the Loire’s signature freshness while offering the complexity expected from the traditional method. Orchard fruits and citrus provide vibrancy, while lees aging layers in brioche and almond richness, lifted by a fine, persistent mousse. Its balance of elegance, freshness, and minerality makes it versatile—equally at home as an aperitif, a celebratory toast, or paired with seafood and refined vegetarian dishes. For those seeking Champagne-like sophistication at an everyday price, this Crémant delivers exceptional value and charm.
