Langlois's Cabernet Franc-dominant Cremant de Loire rose. Over 60 percent of the blend comes from clay-limestone terroirs of Montreuil-Bellay and Le Puy Notre-Dame, with 18 months on the lees: pale pink with copper notes, red berry and peach aromatics, fresh and easy on the palate.

What it pairs with

  • Salmon ceviche with raspberry
    Berry-and-peach aromatics align with the raw-fish dressing.
  • Strawberry tiramisu
    Pink-grapefruit lift balances mascarpone richness; berry aromatics echo the dessert fruit.
  • Grilled prawns with rose pepper
    Red-currant palate and rose pepper find a peer in pink-shell crustaceans.
  • Charcuterie with terrine de campagne
    Fresh acidity and a fine mousse refresh between bites of rustic pork.

History

Langlois's Brut Rose draws over 60 percent of its blend from clay-limestone Cabernet Franc parcels in Montreuil-Bellay and Le Puy Notre-Dame. Eighteen months on the lees (three months above the Champagne minimum of 15) build depth without sacrificing freshness.
