Murano Crémant de Loire

The story of Guy Saget is one of passion passed down from father to son. The company, founded in 1829, is today a benchmark in the production of high-quality wines in the Loire Valley, one of the most prestigious wine regions in France. The Saget family owns several vineyards located in different areas of the Loire, each with unique characteristics that are reflected in the wines produced. Guy Saget is particularly known for his mastery of using native grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, but also for his ability to interpret international grape varieties such as Chardonnay with a unique and refined style.

Murano Crémant de Loire is one of the flagships of Guy Saget’s production. This sparkling wine, produced using the traditional method, is distinguished by its elegance, freshness and aromatic complexity. The name “Murano” immediately evokes the image of the famous Venetian glass, famous throughout the world for its transparency, brilliance and finesse. It is no coincidence that Guy Saget chose this name for his Crémant de Loire: just like Murano glass, this sparkling wine stands out for its purity, brightness and fine and persistent perlage. The grapes used to produce Murano Crémant de Loire are Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, two vines that complement each other. Chardonnay gives the wine structure, elegance and notes of white-fleshed fruit, while Chenin Blanc adds freshness, acidity and hints of citrus and white flowers. After the first fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is refermented in the bottle according to the traditional method. This process, which involves at least 12 months of aging on the lees, allows the wine to develop greater aromatic complexity and an extraordinary finesse of perlage.

Guy Saget’s Murano Crémant de Loire has a bright straw yellow color, enriched by golden reflections that can intensify with aging. The perlage is fine and persistent, with a creamy foam that accompanies a succession of delicate bubbles. On the nose, the wine reveals an intense and rich aroma, with notes that evolve over time. Its complexity is evident, with hints of white-fleshed fruit such as peach, apple and pear, followed by citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, and white flowers such as acacia and hawthorn. Delicate notes of yeast and bread crust complete the olfactory picture. With refinement, hints of dried fruit such as hazelnut and almond, honey and sweet spices may emerge. On the palate, the attack is fresh and lively, thanks to a good acidity that stimulates salivation. The body is medium-thick, with a balanced structure and a pleasant creaminess. The aromas perceived on the nose are confirmed on the palate, with a predominance of white-fleshed fruit, citrus fruits and white flowers. The finish is persistent and mineral, with an aftertaste reminiscent of dried fruit and aromatic herbs. Murano Crémant de Loire is an extremely versatile wine, capable of elegantly accompanying a wide range of dishes. It pairs perfectly with fish and seafood appetizers, delicate first courses, fish or white meat second courses, fresh and soft cheeses, and light fruit-based desserts. Thanks to its freshness and acidity, this sparkling wine is also an excellent aperitif, ideal for celebrating special occasions or simply enjoying a moment of relaxation.
