Nerleux means “black wolves” and the estate in the Loire Valley has been famously making dry sparkling from cabernet franc, chardonnay and chenin blanc for FIVE centuries. SO CRISP and zesty - there’s a cool baked apple note to complement the dominant lemon zest and bread dough, citrus and lightly toasted almonds - lip-smacking and uber-refreshing and, well, pretty perfect in every way…if it lasts more than an hour!
