Saumur Ackermann Remy-Pannier

Ackermann Remy-Pannier 1811 Brut

In 1811, Jean ACKERMAN founded the Traditional Method in Saumur. For forty years, he was the only one to produce the famous wine known throughout the world today. To date, the Ackerman company is the result of the merger of the three renowned Loire Valley wine producers Ackerman-Laurance, Rémy Pannier and De Neuville, and today it belongs to a number of major Loire Valley winemaking cooperatives whose members have come together to pool their efforts in promoting and marketing the wines of the Loire.

Comparisons with Champagne are inevitable. There are similarities between the winemaking conditions in Saumur and in Champagne, including a cool climate and miles of ancient, underground quarries that lie underneath the vineyards and in which the wines are cellared. The wines are made with the same methods. However, such comparisons ignore the ways in which Saumur differs from Champagne and which make it unique.
