Bouvet Ladubay Wine
In the centre of the area of
Saumur, close to the century-
old reputed vineyard, Bouvet-
Ladubay welcomes you in its
cellars. Along its 5 miles long
galleries excavated in
the “tuffeau” stone, you will
discover that for Bouvet-
Ladubay, wine is a living art
which needs to be elaborated
with wisdom, mixing tradition
and advance technology.
Bouvet-Ladubay has become
the fist exporter of SAUMUR
BRUT (extra-dry) today and
remains a luxurious home-
made product above all. On its
premises, where “Excellency”
is regarded as a reference,
Bouvet-Ladubay displays for
you all the stages of the
making of its vintage wines,
from the first fermentation to
the labelling of the bottles.
You will appreciate the
flavours when tasting.
The story of the wine cellars
started 1000 years ago at the
time of the builders. The Saint
Florent monks, who were
expelled from the first
dungeon of Saumur by
FOULQUE NERA in 1025, were
among the fist builders. The
settled down there on the hills
overlooking the Thouet river,
excavated the first galleries to
quarry the tuffeau stone which
was then used to build the
abbey “La Belle d’Anjou”
consecrated on October 1040
and which knew its biggest
influence in the 13th century.
The Bouvet-Ladubay wine
cellars are the cellars of that
abbey.
At the end of the 19th century,
the extraction of the “tuffeau”
stone which was used to build
a great number of monuments
in France and in Europe came
to an end ; on top of the
castles and abbeys in the
Loire Valley area, we can
quote the abbey of
Westminster.
The “Underground Cathedral”
is today a set of 35
monuments created in 2002,
along 0,4 mile long galleries
displayed with music and
lights. |
