Louis Vallon Crémant de Bordeaux Semi-dry Rosé

The legend : According to legend, during the 100 years war, a French Abbot hid and cared for a young wounded English soldier. He would have made him discover a beverage of his manufacture. He would have baptized this sparkling drink "Crémant" because of the fine bubbles which, rising to the surface, create a foam as delicate as cream. The Abbot is said to have got into the habit of pacing the valleys to work his vines when the camps withdraw, at sunset, when the light is magnificent and the valley shines. The young English would have understood "Vallon Luit". The expression would have remained: The legend of Louis Vallon would have been born thus...
