Presentation

Presentation
Impetus is the result of the blending of the four main grape varieties of the Loire Valley, each of which gives it complex character traits and specific aromas. Fiery and exhilarating, it is a complex wine with a unique plenitude. A specific liqueur has been created to highlight its aromatic palette and its structure to obtain a Crémant of a rare quality. Our Impetus De Chanceny is the result of the most delicate work of our winegrowers and oenologists.
Location
The production area of Crémant de Loire, located in the south of the Loire, covers 2,350 hectares. Our vines, of the four grape varieties that composes our cuvée, are in the Saumur region.
Terroir
The vines selected for De Chanceny wines are located on tuffeau terroirs. Tender and white, this stone was used for the construction of the Loire castles, but it is also ideal for wine growing: it retains and redistributes rainwater on the land. The best grapes from the best plots are selected for our Crémant de Loire Impetus De Chanceny.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand. A soft pressing and a fermentation at a cool temperature (64°F) allow a good conservation of the aromas. The second fermentation is made according to the "Méthode Traditionnelle", in the bottle, after a selection of the best juices.
Ageing
The 84 months of ageing on laths in our tuffeau cellars before disgorgement bring an incomparable finesse of bubbles.
