VinePair selected Langlois Crémant de Loire Brut Réserve NV in its roundup, “The 25 Best Sparkling Wines for 2024 (That Aren’t Champagne or Prosecco),” along with tasting notes and a rating of 92 points.
In a corresponding review, in a story highlighting wines that are perfect for cooking And sipping, dinner parties, and winter white wine drinking, the writer notes that the Chenin Blanc dominant sparkling wine, “sourced from six distinct vineyards across the winery’s 175 acres, shows a specific sense of place. The soft nose offers hints of roasted honey and a whisper of herbs. The palate has a calm perlage with a tight concentration of fruit and a slight grip. The finish is balanced and delightful.”
