Crémant de Loire – Brut
The Crémant de Loire appellation has been showcasing the full character of its clay-limestone terroirs since 1975.
ur Crémant is a subtle blend of three hand-harvested grape varieties from the best terroirs in the appellation, aged for a minimum of 12 months in tuffeau stone wine cellars.
The fine bubbles of J. de Villebois Brut express the delicacy and elegance of the Loire style combined with a subtle freshness.
This wine is available in France from 9,80 € at your preferred wine shop, or at our online shop Aux trésors de Bacchus

VINEYARD
Our BRUT is made from 14 different parcels dispersed around the villages of St Romain, Couddes, and Thenay. David, our vineyard manager and veritable guardian of the vines, ensures their protection and care all year round. He monitors their evolution and identifies any possible needs they may have according to the meteorological conditions. We have received Sustainable Winegrowing certification in recognition of our commitment to socially and environmentally responsible viticulture. As an example, we sow cover crops during winter and use organic compost to maintain and stimulate life in the soils. In spring and summer, all of our vineyards remain grassed over to limit soil erosion and oxidisation, which also helps to curb the energy of the vines and as a result increases grape quality.
HARVESTING AND WINEMAKING
The grapes are hand-picked in 10 kg crates. The aromas of the grapes are perfectly retained through gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation at 18 °C. The secondary fermentation is conducted in the bottle following the Traditional Method.
MATURING
The wine is aged on laths in tuffeau stone cellars 12 metres underground for at least 12 months to retain all its aromas.
