The protected designation of origin Crémant de Loire is located in the Loire wine region, about 150 kilometers southwest of Paris. This designation, created in 1975, produces sparkling wines made using the traditional method (in practice, the same method used for Champagne wines).
Crémant de Loire wines are produced from grape varieties such as Chenin, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc, which are grown in the vineyards of the region. They offer aromas of fresh fruit and flowers, as well as a fine and frothy texture in the mouth.
With more than 200 producers (not all of whom are shown on the map), the Crémant de Loire designation is one of the most important in the Loire wine region. Wines from this designation are often considered a more affordable alternative to Champagnes, while still offering equivalent quality (at least, that’s what they say around here!).
