› THE STORY
De Chanceny is emblematic of our know-how in producing fine, sparkling Loire wines according to the Méthode Traditionnelle, developed since 1957.

› LOCATION
Located in Montreuil Bellay, in the southern part of Saumur region.

› TERROIR
The cuvee "De Chanceny" Bio is made from grapes which are harvested by hand. Located in Montreuil Bellay, in the southern part of Saumur region, the plots of Chenin Blanc florish in a chalk and tufa limestone soil. Careful ageing in our tufa cellars gives to the wine its freshness and smoothness.

› VINIFICATION
The grapes are harvested by hand. Soft pressing and fermentation at cool temperature (18°C) to preserve the complexity of all aromas. Second fermentation in bottle of a selection of the best wines, according to the Méthode Traditionnelle.

› AGEING
The bottles are stored horizontally on wooden laths in our tufa cellars for a minimum of 12 months before disgorging, to develop an incomparably fine bead.

› SERVING
Enjoy chilled (8-10°C).

› TASTING NOTES
