Terroir & Vineyards

The Saumur region is located in the central Loire Valley, southeast of the city of Angers. The region is famed for sparkling wine production, its defining characteristics being the tuffeau caves where wines mature at constant temperature, and the chalky soil in which the vines grow. The cool climate is ideal for the production of the high-acidity base wines required for sparkling wines.

Sparkling Saumur, like many Champagnes, is a wine of the blender’s art. Bouvet Ladubay does not own vineyards, but is affiliated with over 80 winegrowers who are committed to sustainable agriculture. Bouvet Ladubay Full Metal is a state of the art winery with 140 000 square meter, 35 thermo-regulated stainless steel vats and a storage of more than 10000 automatic metal cases.
