Producer Information

Bouvet Ladubay is a sparkling wine producer from Saumur in the Loire Valley. The company is now family-run again after an interlude with the major champagne house Taittinger. In addition to wine, Bouvet Ladubay is a place for art, which is impressively reflected in the cellar, which is built in the style of a sunken cathedral. Étienne Bouvet was just 23 years old when he bought an incredible eight-kilometer cellar in Saint-Hilaire-Saint-Florent on the Loire in 1851 and founded the Maison Bouvet Ladubay together with his wife Celestine Ladubay. More than 16 eventful decades followed, during which Bouvet Ladubay made it to the title of "Official Supplier of the British Parliament". After several proud owners, including the champagne house Taittinger, Bouvet Ladubay has been completely owner-managed again since last year and continues its way to the top of the French sparkling wine producers. The crucial question to ask about the rise of Bouvet Ladubay and other great crémant producers is: what's the secret? How do houses like Bouvet Ladubay manage to offer first-class bottle-fermented sparkling wine at a fraction of the price of Champagne? On the one hand, there is good management behind it, on the other hand, it is apparently still not generally known how good Crémant de Loire is. Saumur Brut, for example, was exported all over the world early on by the Dutch and was very popular with kings and great French statesmen.
