Since 1851, Bouvet Ladubay, in the Loire Valley, has been one of France’s greatest producers of méthode traditionnelle (naturally fermented in the bottle) sparkling wine. Founded in 1851 by Etienne Bouvet and his wife Célestine Ladubay, Bouvet Ladubay is the second oldest sparkling wine-producing house in Saumur.
This Bouvet Excellence Brut Rosé is produced from 100% Cabernet Franc, sourced from about 80 growers around Saumur and the Loire Valley area, a classic grape of the region. Bouvet Excellence Brut Rosé is a beautiful light salmon color with very delicate aromas. On the palate, this sparkling rosé is light-bodied with strawberry, raspberry and peach flavors. It’s soft and easy to drink, not sweet, with very light bubbles that lead to a creamy finish – a wonderful addition to a warm summer day.
