As the voice of the new generation at the Chéreau Carré winery in France’s Loire Valley, Louise Chéreau is shaking things up by creating fresh new expressions of traditional grapes and terroirs with her new line called Vices & Vertus. In this spirit, she’s making a bottle-fermented direct-press sparkling rosé wine from her old estate-grown cabernet vines planted on decomposed granite soils in the commune of Château Thébaud in the Muscadet region. Fresh, crunchy, and playful: Orgueil Rosé is an essential Loire Valley sparkler. 

Vinification – This sparkling wine is made entirely in-house using the méthode traditionelle. The cabernet grapes are hand harvested and directly pressed, with a short maceration. After alcoholic fermentation in underground cement tanks, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in bottle and is aged on the lees for fourteen months. Disgorgement was done by hand at the winery on June, 18 2024.
