The grapes come from the Saumur region of France, in the Loire Valley. Ackerman combines fruit from two zones for a complete profile: the basin around Le Puy-Notre-Dame, with sandy and limestone soils, yields floral notes and white fruit, while the Montreuil-Bellay basin, with limestone soils, provides vibrant freshness with citrus and orange peel.
Made using the traditional method with a second fermentation in the bottle. The base wine is carefully pressed, after which it is aged for 15 months sur lattes in the historic Ackerman caves. This results in a precise mousse and a crisp, balanced mouthfeel. Serve at 5–6°C for maximum freshness.
