Tasting Notes

Named after the saphir or sapphire gemstone, this gem of a sparkling wine is rich in aromas and flavors with a polished intensity. Saumur is known for its tuffeau stone, a local chalky limestone used to build the numerous castles that dot the Loire Valley. The limestone soil is ideal for growing Chenin Blanc. Grapes are selected from Saumur's renowned vineyards and are hand harvested. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The second fermentation occurs in the bottle and the wine spends a minimum of 18 months on the lees. The Bouvet Ladubay’s cellars are housed in ancient tuffeau stone quarries, creating the perfect environment for aging wine.

Pale gold in color with hints of amber and fine bubbles, this full-bodied sparkling wine offers intense aromas of white flowers, peach, acacia, honey, and hazelnut.

90/100 & Best Buy, Reggie Solomon, Wine Enthusiast, November 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Pristine and reserved, freshly squeezed red-apple aromas circulate in the glass, followed by the faintest kiss of yogurt. The palate marries an orchard-fruit focus with refreshing bubbles and an underlying crisp acidity. Pair with charcuterie, fried dishes and roti."
