history
Alliance Loire is a group of winegrowers who decided in 2002 to pool their resources in order to offer a complete range of authentic, well-balanced wines from Muscadet to Vouvray along the Loire River. The winegrowers are driven by the strong but simple values of the modern cooperative - solidarity, respect and creativity - values enhanced by a real team spirit, which enriches each stage of the wine production process. Alliance Loire groups together 8 cooperative cellars, representing all the diversity of the terroirs and appellations of the Loire Valley. Loire wines in general are known as reasonably priced refreshing wines.
Vineyard
The production area of Crémant de Loire in the south of the Loire region extends over 2700 hectares. The grapes in this vintage are a blend from selected terroirs, mainly of clayey limestone. Various soils including tufa limestone (the limestone which was also used to build the famous Loire Valley castles). Vines : 20-30 years old - 61 hectares (150 acres) - Yield : 70Hl/Ha - 4T/acre.

Manual harvesting, gentle pressing and low-temperature fermentation (18°C) to preserve the aromas.
