Description
What kind of wine it is
Gabrielle d’Estrées Crémant de Loire Traditionnelle Brut by Maison Laudacius is a dry and elegant sparkling wine with a designation of origin from the Loire Valley. This Traditional Method wine is crafted from a refined blend that combines the freshness of Chenin, the richness of Chardonnay, and the structure of Cabernet Franc. In the glass, it displays a pale golden colour and a fine, persistent perlage. On the palate, it offers a creamy sip, enriched with notes of apple, pear, citrus, and hints of pastry. Its liveliness makes it a perfect aperitif and an excellent companion for shellfish, sushi, and soft cheeses.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine is born in the Loire Valley, a French region renowned for producing wines of remarkable finesse. The Crémant de Loire expresses the character of the grape varieties cultivated in this historic area. The limestone soils play a crucial role in developing the aromatic profile, giving the wine precise tension and a pleasant mineral nuance. This terroir ensures a deep palate-cleansing quality, enhancing the natural freshness of the grapes and maintaining a defined structure throughout the tasting.
How it is produced
The care taken in crafting this wine by Maison Laudacius begins with the manual harvesting of the grape bunches. Production strictly follows the Traditional Method, involving expert bottle refermentation for a delicate formation of bubbles. The subsequent ageing on the lees enriches the structure, imparting greater complexity. This meticulous process allows the integration of fruity notes with elegant bakery nuances, defining a Brut profile with pronounced savouriness and an enveloping texture.

Maison Laudacius opens its doors every day, in the spirit of a welcoming house rather than a simple winery. Visitors are invited to wander between the rows, descend into the emblematic cellar of the AOC Montlouis‑sur‑Loire and taste a range of wines that move from Brut Nature without sulphites to more confidential, tender cuvées. Each bottle is conceived as a meeting point between the living energy of the vineyard and the precision of the cellar, with a clear focus on organic farming and a contemporary reading of the terroir.
Tasting at Laudacius becomes a journey through textures and light: the chalky freshness of the soils, the purity of the fruit, the fine, vibrant bubbles of the sparkling wines. Behind the labels, there is a team that has chosen patience over haste, detail over spectacle, and the desire to make Montlouis‑sur‑Loire shine as a destination in its own right. Maison Laudacius is a place where you come to buy wine, of course—but above all to experience a certain idea of the Loire: luminous, precise, and quietly poetic. Read more
