Raer Alliance L’Instance AOP Saumur Brut Réserve is a refined sparkling wine that brings together elegance, freshness, and a true sense of place from the Loire Valley. Produced through RAER’s partnership with Vignobles Sébastien Fricker, this Brut Réserve is crafted from a blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay grapes, then aged for 12 months in bottle to develop balance, texture, and finesse. The result is a sparkling wine that feels both vibrant and composed, with a clear focus on purity and precision.
There is an immediate sense of refinement in the glass. The mousse is fine and persistent, carrying bright fruit and subtle depth in equal measure. It opens with freshness, but quickly reveals a layered character that gives it more presence than a typical aperitif sparkling wine. The structure is clean and well defined, making it equally suited to celebratory moments or more relaxed evening drinking.
Previously available only in France, L’Instance AOP Saumur Brut Réserve is now available more widely, offering an accessible introduction to high quality Loire sparkling wine. It works beautifully as a reception drink, but also pairs well with light appetisers and can easily elevate a simple gathering into something more considered. Its appetite stimulating freshness makes it particularly versatile at the start of a meal or as a standalone pour.
A refined Loire sparkling wine with fine bubbles, crisp citrus character, and an elegant finish that is ideal for celebratory occasions.
