Description
Cuvee Elisa is a tribute to Elisa Amiot, founder of Veuve Amiot in 1884. She was a young widow who took her destiny and created a well-known negoce house of elegant sparkling wines. Elisa Crémant de Loire reflects her personality: strong in character, ambitious and dynamic, with its fine and persistent bubbles and its fruity flavors. Pleasant nose with complex aromas of white fruits, almond and toasted notes. On the palate, it has a long taste, with mineral, pear and apple notes. The complex taste mixes softness and vivacity, making it perfect for an aperitif with starters or as accompaniment to seafood meals.

Varietal
Champagne Blend
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn’t unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as ‘blanc de blanc’, meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or ‘blanc de noir’, which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
