Domaine Champalou farms twenty-one hectares of vineyards on clay and limestone terroir. The family, headed by Catherine and Didier Champalou, embraces sustainable farming while also integrating the use of the lunar calendar, a method more traditionally associated with organic viticulture. The soils in their vineyards are rich and deep, allowing for wines of great elegance and tenderness; highly aromatic and with impeccable balance. No other Loire producer comes close to copying their distinct style.

100% Chenin Blanc.
A remarkable complexity with a texture that shows both a creamy richness and marked minerality. A fantastic alternative to Champagne, it boasts a floral nose with notes of peaches and melon. The honeyed palate is round with excellent acidity and a deliciously long finish.

Lugny 2018 Cremant De Bourgogne
50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir. This exceptionally priced Burgundian sparkler offers a terrific chance to try a relatively rare commodity in our market. This Gold Medal-winning bubbly (Concours des Vins Burgondia) has suggestions of toasted bread and nuts on both the nose and palate, with tangy citrus and a hint of tea. Well-balanced, crisp and refreshing.
Baumard Cremant De Loire Rose
80% Cabernet Franc, 20% Chenin Blanc
"Very pale, bright pink with a steady bead. Shy aromas of strawberry, blood orange, rose and spices, plus a hint of honeysuckle. Very fresh and expansive on the palate, offering pure red fruit and sweet citrus flavors and subtle minerality. The precise, spicy finish leaves dusty mineral and strawberry notes behind."' - Steve Tanzer
Serge Mathieu 2009 Brut Millesime
It has structure, power and length, and bears the mark of its Pinot Noir. It clearly shows all the work that has been carried out in the vineyards since only very ripe and small grapes can produce such density and structure in a Champagne. 8.6 grams dosage.
Entirely made from Pinot Noir… clear, fresh and straight fruit of yellow skinned apples and Williams pears along with citrus flavors and some stony notes on the nose. This is remarkably elegant and delicate with a mineral backbone and an excellent grippy finish.
