Grandin
Between the pale tuffeau limestone and the quiet bends of the Val de Loire, Grandin has pursued one aim since 1886: clean, exact bubbles made by Méthode Traditionnelle—no spectacle, just discipline. The Caves of La Bouvraie, once linked to royal glassworks at the Château of Ingrandes‑sur‑Loire, are more than scenery; they are a natural thermostat for long sur‑lie calm and steady prise de mousse.
In the cellar, gentle pressing favours the cœur de cuvée over loud taille, then tirage, patience sur lattes, and remuage on pupitres until the moment of dégorgement. The blend stays deliberately fluid: Chenin, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay are re‑weighted with each year to keep the house line. Dosage is treated as a final brush‑stroke—an Extra Brut mindset, never a disguise. Loire sparkle, written with restraint, renewed by vintage.Grandin
