WHY MAKING WINE IN CANS …?

🍇 Wine a Can : A New Era for an Ancient Tradition :

Wine, a faithful companion to our civilization for millennia, has always evolved with its time. Clay amphorae, oak barrels, glass bottles, BIBs… With each innovation, the container has transformed, not out of whim but by necessity and progress.
Today, at Domaine des Herbauges, we are writing a new chapter in this story with boldness close to our hearts: wine in a can.
But why this approach, you may ask ? For us, it is neither a fleeting trend nor a simple marketing ploy. Our goal is to address contemporary needs while respecting the heritage of wine. We chose this format to offer a practical, ecological, and responsible alternative tailored to new consumption habits, without ever compromising on our commitment to quality.

🌍 A Step Toward a Lighter Carbon Footprint :

Did you know that the glass industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the wine world? Indeed, nearly 40% of a winery’s carbon footprint is attributed to the glass bottle. A standard lightweight glass wine bottle weighs around 500 grams when empty. Once filled with 750 milliliters of wine (approximately 750 grams), its total weight reaches 1,250 grams. In contrast, three full cans of wine weigh only 750 grams. The carbon footprint of a glass wine bottle is estimated at 350 grams of CO₂. Aluminum cans, however, have a carbon footprint approximately 72 times lower. Replacing one glass bottle with a can saves about 345 grams of CO₂ per unit.
Thanks to its widespread and accessible recycling processes, aluminum plays a crucial role in waste reduction. Worldwide, aluminum recycling infrastructures outperform those for glass, offering each can a swift and efficient second life.
At Domaine des Herbauges, we’ve invested in a cutting-edge pilot conditioning line, the “GAI 3621 FE CAN,” the first of its kind in France. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to package our wines directly on-site while preserving their purity and balance a perfect blend of innovation and respect for the product and tradition.

💡 The Core : A Love for Wine :

Beyond the container, what truly matters is the content. At Domaine des Herbauges, every wine is carefully crafted, from vineyard to can. Our priority is to offer authentic enjoyment, wherever you are, while respecting the earth through more sustainable practices. Wine in a can is an invitation a way to honor our heritage while looking toward the future. We firmly believe it’s possible to combine tradition and modernity, quality and convenience, pleasure and responsibility.
So, why not give it a try ? You might be surprised at how this small revolution can elevate your life’s moments.

Our sparkling wines

Our sparkling wines for more luxurious wine moments 

At Jerome Choblet we produce quality sparkling wines from a blend of Melon de Bourgogne (Muscadet Cotes de Grandlieu), Grolleau Gris and Chardonnay grapes (IGP Val de Loire). Like all our range of wines, all our sparkling wines are produced in a sustainable and traditional way. 

Behind the characteristics and typicality of our sparkling wines lies a strong reflection of the terroir, from Saumur to Nantes region, a history, and a lot of passion and commitment. 

Using traditional method with aging on lees 

All our sparkling wines are made using traditional methods. After bottling, we do a secondary fermentation at low temperature and age, the wine on its lees for at least 24 months. The aging process adds complexity and body to the wine.  

The result is a sparkling wine of rare delicacy, with very fine and persistent bubbles. The subtle blend of the 3 master grapes (Melon B 40%, Grolleau Gris 40% and Chardonnay 20%) of our domain also gives our sparkling wines a greediness and a very pleasant freshness in an Extra Brut wine.

Sparkling Saumur wines 

At Château La Salle, Jerome Choblet and his partner Michel Houdebine produce a range of quality Saumur sparkling wines from a blend of Chenin, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Grolleau Gris and Gamay. For the famous sparkling Saumur Rosé, we use a blend of Cabernet Franc 67%, Grolleau Gris 28% and Gamay 5% to add fruitiness to the sparkling rosé. 

As with the rest of our wine range, all our sparkling wines are produced in a sustainable and traditional way. 

Characteristic aromas of the sparkling wines

Immediately after opening the bottle and pouring the wine into the glass, you will perceive a pleasant aromatic floral note in the nose. With subtle fruity, mineral and slightly iodized notes, we find here the typical characteristics of Loire wines. 

When tasting, a harmonious and elegant mouth will reveal all the floral aromas of the wine and a lingering sensation of effervescence in the mouth.  

Once again, thanks to the extremely favorable location of our region, our sparkling wines offer a fresh, rich but zesty palate, sometimes with hints of coffee – all perfectly balanced and long. 

Sparkling wine and dining

As for tasting, our sparkling wines go very well with fruity desserts or chocolate cakes. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or during a celebration.
