Louis de Grenelle Acajou is a red Crémant made from Cabernet Franc, the number 1 of the red grape varieties in the Loire Valley. This grape variety gives the wines an exceptional suppleness and finesse. In its color this wine is dark ruby red with a very attractive mousse in the glass. In the nose it is very aromatic with notes of small red fruits such as strawberries and currants in combination with a hint of cocoa. On the palate, the wine is velvety smooth with creamy tannins in the finish enhanced by a delicate acidity.
The wine is aged 'sur lattes' for 12 months, which gives it a soft mousse.
Ideal as an aperitif or with desserts with chocolate and red fruit.
The Loire and its many tributaries have a significant moderating effect on vineyards. By creating a multitude of microclimates, all of which favor the growth of the vines, they contribute to the great diversity of the region's wines. They also have a buffer effect, which is particularly crucial for the production of rich, full-bodied wines.
Louis de Grenelle Acajou is a delicious red sparkling French Loire wine from the winery Louis de Grenelle. This wine is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes.
Recommended serving temperature between 6°C and 8°C.
The Louis de Grenelle cellars are located in the center of Saumur, in the heart of the Loire. Louis de Grenelle (since 1859) is the last major fully independent family business specializing in the making of sparkling wines. The company combines old traditional production methods with modern production methods. Louis de Grenelle has its own special vineyards that guarantee grapes of exceptional quality.
In 1976, the visionary winemaker Hubert Bodet and two business partners took over this then-derelict cellar, contrary to everyone's advice. In 2009, Hubert Bodet passed the baton to his daughter, Françoise Flao, who has been involved in the company since 1983, assisted by her husband, Jean Pierre Flao.
Françoise Flao plans for the future by concentrating on harnessing the artisanal expertise of the winemakers while adding a touch of modernity and innovation. However, Françoise continues to prefer a qualitative method, which has never compromised the characteristic Louis de Grenelle style over the years.
