The J.DELMARE collection is a selection of the best terroirs in the communes of Saint-Melaine-sur-Aubance, near Angers, and Parnay, near Saumur. These schistose-clay and limestone-clay soils give our crémants great finesse. Hand-harvested, the Crémants de Loire from the J.DELMARE collection are made entirely on the estate.

Tasting
The attack on the palate is supple, light and airy, with little dosage... the hint of redcurrant and raspberry acidity reinforces the wine's youthful effect. A few notes of brioche, characteristic of the wine's time on the lees in the magnificent tuffeau cellars, add to the olfactory complexity at the end of the tasting, without weighing it down... quite the contrary.
Food pairings
Ideal for aperitifs and relaxing moments with friends, this wine will also accompany all desserts based on fresh red fruit (red fruit cup, strawberry and raspberry tartar, etc.), mousse or strawberry soup with wine, etc.
