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. This wine shows off a different side of muscadet and hints at the immense potential of this region for sparkling wines.
