Veuve Laperriere Blanc de Blancs Brut, Loire Valley

Veuve Laperrière Blanc de Blancs Brut from the Loire Valley is a bright, clean and approachable French sparkling wine that delivers freshness and finesse without ceremony. Made entirely from Chardonnay, this Blanc de Blancs reflects the cooler climate influence of the Loire, where limestone rich soils and temperate conditions favour crisp acidity, citrus drive and a light, elegant frame. Veuve Laperrière has built a strong reputation for producing well made, accessible sparkling wines that lean into balance and drinkability rather than weight or overt richness.

The winemaking is straightforward and focused on purity. Gentle pressing and cool fermentation preserve freshness, while secondary fermentation builds a fine, lively mousse. The emphasis is on clarity of fruit and refreshment, making this an easy wine to enjoy both on its own and at the table.

The aromatics are fresh and lifted. Lemon zest, green apple and pear lead the way, followed by white peach and subtle floral notes. A faint hint of brioche and almond sits quietly in the background, adding polish without distracting from the wine’s clean profile.

The palate is crisp, lively and refreshing. Bright citrus and orchard fruit flavours are carried by fine bubbles and supported by clean, zesty acidity. The texture is light and energetic, finishing dry and refreshing with a gentle mineral edge that invites another sip. It is uncomplicated in the best sense, delivering exactly what you want from a Blanc de Blancs at this style and price point.

Ideal as an aperitif or with oysters, prawns, sushi, light salads, soft cheeses or simple canapés. Veuve Laperrière Blanc de Blancs Brut is all about freshness, ease and everyday enjoyment, a reliable sparkling option for any occasion.
