Terroirs: Anjou, Saumur and Touraine.
Grape varieties: Cabernet Franc (60%), Chenin (20%), Chardonnay (15%), Grolleau (5%)

Winemaking Techniques
Hand-harvested into perforated crates, selection of the juice during whole-berry pressing, primary fermentation in temperature-controlled vats, ageing on fine lees. The second fermentation takes place directly in the bottle (using the traditional method). For the second fermentation, the yeast used was selected in Champagne to bring out the finesse and fruitiness of the blends. Aged on laths for 18 months in complete darkness and silence.

Singularity
A blend made exclusively from red grape varieties. Co-inoculation (yeast and lactic acid bacteria) is carried out from the start of the first fermentation, helping to enhance the fruit expression and stabilize the colour.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Salmon pink with a string of fine bubbles.
Nose: Strawberries, raspberries and hint of blackcurrant.
Palate: A fresh and smooth palate with excellent balance and a hint of red fruit.

Gratien Meyer was founded in Saumur in 1864. In this unique setting, where vineyards, tuffeau cellars and the Loire Valley river meet, all our fine bubbles are still produced in our centuries-old cellars according to traditional values and know-how dating back over 160 years.

Since 1864, Gratien Meyer has been producing quality sparkling wines in the Loire using the traditional method.
