Cremant de Loire 'Piplettes' Domaine Clo

The Cremant de Loire "Piplettes" from Domaine Clo is a lively, mineral sparkling wine from the central Loire area.

The typical sip of a sparkling Chenin is almost airy, and this wine is no exception. The palate is very fresh, with pleasant minerality, perfect both as an aperitif and with savory appetizers such as some foie gras
