Domaine de L’Epinay Folie de l’Espinose Brut
Non-Vintage Sparkling Wine from Loire Valley, France
Tasting Notes
The vines for the sparkling wines grow on very different soils at l’Epinay than do the Muscadets. L’Epinay’s Muscadet soils are largely granite and gravel, whereas the grapes for this wine are grown in loamy clay soils, ideal for pronounced fruit expression. The “Folie de L`Espinose” Blanc Brut is composed of chardonnay, folle blanche and pinot noir vines averaging 25 years old. The wine is produced under the Traditional Method, with the first fermentation in stainless steel and the second in bottle followed by a minimum of 10 months sur latte before disgorgement.
Bordeaux Bard – 88 Points
This wine hits the mark—simple, affordable, and it gets the job done. I wasn’t expecting it to be mind-blowing, and it wasn’t. But it delivers exactly what you’d hope for: light, crisp, and refreshing with clean, straightforward bubbles. (Carson McEvoy).
Food Pairing
Pairs well with appetizers including sourdough bread, cheeses and garlic scapes.
