Sampler includes 1 bottle each

Château de la Durandière Crémant de Loire (Crémant de Loire)
A refined traditional-method sparkler bursting with fine, persistent bubbles and crisp energy. Bright aromatics of green apple, white peach, lemon curd, and toasted brioche lift cleanly from the glass. On the palate, a silky mousse leads into fresh orchard fruit and vibrant citrus acidity, framed by delicate chalky minerality and a dry, refreshing finish.

Domaine du Petit Clocher Rosé de Loire (Rosé de Loire)
A vivid, coral‑pink Rosé de Loire crafted from equal parts Cabernet Franc and Grolleau, the 2025 vintage shows the estate’s hallmark clarity and lift. Aromas of wild raspberry, fresh strawberry, and delicate cherry rise with gentle floral tones of violet and rose petal. The palate is crisp and light‑bodied, carrying bright red‑berry fruit and subtle spice from the Grolleau, while Cabernet Franc adds definition and a clean, linear frame. Lively acidity keeps everything taut and refreshing, finishing dry, pure, and quietly floral.

Patient Cottat Le Grand Caillou Sauvignon Blanc (Vin de France)
Sourced from stony alluvial soils, this inviting Sauvignon Blanc offers textbook Loire purity. Intensely aromatic notes of grapefruit zest, lime leaf, crunchy green apple, and wet flint dominate the nose. The palate is crisp, focused, and mouthwatering, showing juicy citrus and subtle herbal undercurrents held together by razor-sharp acidity.

Domaine Bellevue Touraine Sauvignon Blanc (Touraine)
Classic Touraine expressiveness driven by clay and limestone terroir. Aromas of passionfruit, white nectarine, crushed herbs, and fresh-cut grass lead into a vibrant, punchy palate. Clean and energetic throughout, it marries generous tropical fruit purity with bright, zip-y acidity and a dry, mineral-laced tail.

La Berrière Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu Sur Lie (Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu)
Grown near Lake Grandlieu and aged on its fine lees for enhanced complexity, this Melon de Bourgogne showcases maritime terroir at its finest. Delicate aromas of lemon peel, green pear, sea spray, and subtle yeast roll through the glass. The palate is textured yet bone-dry, carrying saline minerality and crisp citrus acidity through a long, focused finish.

Le Petit Perroy Grand Vin Vouvray (Vouvray)
An off-dry expression of Chenin Blanc showcasing the characteristic balance of the Vouvray appellation. Inviting aromas of ripe wool, yellow apple, juicy apricot, and white blossoms lead to a round, layered palate. The gentle touch of residual sweetness is perfectly counterbalanced by a streak of vibrant, mouth-watering acidity, keeping the finish lifted and beautifully fresh.
