The golden Bulles de Live is a Crémant de Loireas it stands in the book. This is Chenin Blanc pure, fresh, powerful and in the exact balance between fruit and spice. The attack reveals notes of ripe yellow pears and quince, ripe lemons and yellow grapefruits combined with a little ginger and an attack of blond tobacco and wet stone. In the background one finds a pen stroke of wax and honey. 

On the palate the Bulles de Liv a pleasantly creamy texture in connection with a lively, but quite silky fine perlage. Here, too, the Crémant shows the successful balance of ripe pome fruit, powerful citrus aspects and a fine spiciness. The Crémant is located on the edge of kstill-dry, but offers a fine sweetness through the fruit, which brings an elegant aspect to the sparkling wine. In addition, it seems extremely lively, fun-loving and offers at the same time pressure and depth, a lot of juice and a light, the drinking flow promoting saltiness in the finish.
