Prélud Le Crémant

Prélud Le Crémant opens the Domaine Payen range as an invitation to discover Ludovic Payen's world. A cuvée designed for immediate enjoyment, but produced with the same high standards as the domain's still wines.

The blend of Chenin and Chardonnay creates fine, delicate bubbles, where notes of citrus, fresh apple, and white flowers are accompanied by a subtle brioche touch. The palate is seductive with its balance, freshness, and a clean finish, driven by beautiful energy.

A precise and digestible Crémant de Loire, which is equally at home as an aperitif or with a meal, thanks to its remarkable drinkability.
