Producer Description
Since 1851, Bouvet-Ladubay has been one of France's greatest producers of me9thode traditionnelle sparkling wine, using the Loire Valley's indigenous Chenin Blanc blended with small amounts of Chardonnay, and using Cabernet Franc for rose9. In 1933, the Monmousseau family purchased the property and today continues to manage this legendary French estate. For Bouvet-Ladubay, wine is a living art that must be practiced with wisdom, uniting tradition, experience and the most finely tuned technology in the creation of refined, handcrafted wines of impeccable quality and consistency.
