A harmony that reflects the expertise of the producers. The millésime 2023, despite demanding climatic conditions, has enabled the winemakers to demonstrate their expertise by producing wines true to the identity of Loire wines. Each color offers distinct characteristics, promising authentic and memorable tasting experiences.
White wines: preserved freshness and strong character
The white wines of the 2023 vintage feature remarkable tension and pronounced freshness, attributable to increased malic acid preservation. TheMelon de Bourgogne produced lively Muscadets with citrus and white-fleshed fruit aromas. The Sauvignons, harvested early, are characterized by fruity intensity and marked minerality. Despite heterogeneous ripeness from plot to plot, careful selection has produced well-balanced, expressive whites with good ageing potential.
Red wines: silky tannins and delicate fruitiness
Thereds of 2023 showed contrasting ripeness, influenced by episodes of heat and humidity. The cabernet franc, well established in the region, produced wines with supple tannins and crisp red fruit aromas. Careful vinification preserved a nice roundness and an interesting balance between freshness and aromatic concentration.
Rosé wines: balance between liveliness and ripeness
The rosés de Loire from the 2023 vintage reveal a fine balance between sugar and acidity, enhanced by a heatwave in early September that favored optimal ripeness in the dedicated grape varieties. These wines are characterized by fresh red fruit aromas, a gourmet palate and a liveliness typical of Loire rosés. Their aromatic intensity and freshness make them seductive cuvées, in line with previous vintages.
Fines Bulles: elegance and aromatic freshness
The sparkling wines of the 2023 vintage display a beautiful fruity expression, with notes of green apple, pear and well-preserved acidity. The early harvest of Chardonnays and Pinots Noirs destined for Crémant de Loire has produced a lively, well-balanced base, conducive to elegant, airy fine bubbles. This vintage, despite its challenges, produces refined, well-structured effervescents dominated by freshness.
