NV Domaine Langlois-Château Crémant de Loire Brut Réserve, France, Wine Review

Another really enjoyable sparkling wine utilizing Chenin Blanc grapes.  This is a blend of 60% Chenin Blanc, 20% Chardonnay and 20% Cabernet France from the Loire Valley.  Light golden in color with just a shade of ruby, clear and bright.  A nice mousse with many smaller bubbles.  The nose is interesting with red apples, pears, slight toast and just a hint of minerality.  Medium bodied.  Nice acidity.  On the palate, this is tasty.  It drinks easily.  Flavors of apples/pears with slight lemons and a hint of char.  Good finish.  This drinks very well on its own and is also very food friendly.  It would pair well with a garlic shrimp pasta.  Drink over the next few years.
