Veuve Amiot 'Elisa' Cremant de Loire Brut

Veuve Amiot’s “Elisa” Crémant de Loire Brut is crafted with the precision and patience that have defined the estate for more than a century. Working with fruit sourced from the tuffeau-limestone slopes surrounding Saumur and Montlouis, the winery blends Chenin Blanc with touches of Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc—each adding its own nuance to the final wine.
After a cool primary fermentation, the wine undergoes traditional method secondary fermentation in bottle, where it ages on the lees to build texture and depth. The result is refined yet vibrant: delicate orchard fruit, crisp citrus, and floral notes lifted by a fine, persistent mousse. The Loire’s unmistakable mineral imprint threads through the palate, keeping the wine lively, structured, and quietly sophisticated.
“Elisa” shows the Loire Valley’s talent for sparkling wine at its best—bright, graceful, and endlessly drinkable, offering Champagne-like finesse at a more approachable level.

Nose: White pear, green apple, lemon zest, and delicate white flowers with a hint of chalk.

Palate: Crisp orchard fruit and citrus accented by fine bubbles, light brioche notes, and refreshing acidity.

Finish: Clean, dry, and mineral-driven with subtle floral lift and lingering citrus.

Wonderful with oysters, goat-cheese tartlets, sushi, or delicate fried appetizers—the wine’s bright acidity and fine mousse refresh the palate and enhance both salty and creamy flavors without overwhelming them.
