A crisp and elegant sparkling from the heart of the Loire Valley, this Vouvray Brut by Champalou offers a beautifully dry expression of Chenin Blanc with fine bubbles and irresistible finesse. A classic French sparkler at a fantastic value.
Taste
Fresh, bright, and refreshingly dry, this wine opens with delicate notes of green apple, quince, and citrus zest. A subtle floral edge adds charm, while a mineral backbone and fine mousse bring elegance to every sip. Crisp acidity and a clean finish make it endlessly drinkable.
About the Winery/Winemaker
The Champalou family has been cultivating Chenin Blanc in Vouvray since 1983, building a reputation for wines that combine tradition with precision. Their estate vineyards are farmed sustainably, and their sparkling wines are crafted using méthode traditionnelle, bringing a level of depth and complexity to each bottle that rivals Champagne.
Why We Love It
This bottle punches far above its weight—gorgeously refined, food-friendly, and celebratory without breaking the bank. It’s one of those go-to sparklers that shines on a Tuesday night just as easily as it does at a wedding toast.
