Region:Loire
This cuvée was first launched in 2012, but Château Langlois has been producing sparkling wines in the Loire Valley since 1885. Such is their reputation that in 1973 the Bollinger family bought a stake in the Château. So not only is this wine made in the same way as Champagne using the Traditional Method, but you also have the know-how of one of Champagne's top Grande Marques. This is then combined with over a century of experience in getting the very best out of Loire grapes. It is truly a recipe for creating an EXTRA-ordinary sparkling wine.

Philippe Pointreau grew up in Saumur and joined Langlois in 2001 after completing his studies in viticulture and oenology in Tours. Drawn by the House’s reputation for fine sparkling wines and estate vineyards, he rose through the ranks from Assistant Oenologist to head of the historic troglodyte cellars in 2013. His guiding belief is simple, exceptional Crémant’s are born from patience, precision and time.
"Hand-picked grapes of Chenin and Chardonnay are ideal to create a wonderful Blanc de Blancs with elegance and freshness. I like very much to work different styles of sparkling wines but I always have a special place for Blanc de Blancs. It has something to do with its purity." - Philippe Pointreau, Winemaker.
