Why choose a Loire wine as an aperitif?

The freshness and lightness of Loire wines

The wines of the Loire Valley are distinguished by their vibrancy and balance. Their natural freshness makes them ideal companions for a gentle start to a meal or for enhancing a convivial moment. Made from emblematic grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc, these wines offer a refined aromatic profile and a beautiful length on the palate.

Wines to suit all tastes

Whether it's a Crémant de Loire , a fruity Rosé de Loire, or a Cabernet d'Anjou , our wines offer a diversity to suit all preferences. The ideal aperitif wine is one that awakens the taste buds while harmonizing perfectly with your appetizers and gourmet bites .

Our selection of appetizers

The festive bubbles of Crémant de Loire

Ideal for celebrating a special occasion, our Crémant de Loire captivates with its finesse and brilliance. Its delicate bubbles add an elegant touch to your aperitifs and cocktail parties. With its notes of green apple, white flowers, and a subtle minerality, it's the perfect partner for smoked salmon toasts or shrimp verrines.

Loire rosé, a wine for friends

With its fruity aromas and lightness, Loire rosé is a must-have for convivial gatherings. It pairs perfectly with tapas as well as exotic dishes. Its refreshing character and hints of red fruit make it an excellent aperitif wine for moments shared with friends .

Sauvignon Blanc, a touch of elegance

White wine lovers particularly appreciate our Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley . Dry and aromatic, it delights with its notes of citrus and exotic fruits. Served chilled, it perfectly complements seafood platters or fresh goat cheese bites, creating a beautiful harmony of flavors.

The best pairings with our wines

Our aperitif wines pair perfectly with a variety of appetizers : seafood, aged cheeses, or artisanal charcuterie. They enhance the flavors without masking them. A Crémant de Loire is ideal with oysters or foie gras, while a rosé will beautifully complement melon and prosciutto skewers.

Ideal serving temperature

To fully appreciate their aromas, our wines should be served at the correct temperature : between 8 and 10°C for white and sparkling wines, and around 10 to 12°C for rosé wines. Serving at the right temperature allows the wine's full complexity and balance to be revealed.
