About the Winery

Bouvet-Ladubay, a renowned winery based in the heart of the Loire Valley in France, is widely acclaimed for its exceptional sparkling wines. With over 160 years of rich heritage, the winery exudes a captivating blend of tradition and modernity.

Established in 1851 by Etienne Bouvet, the winery quickly gained prominence for its refined, French sparklers. Nestled in St. Hilaire St. Florent, the winery’s location benefits from the fertile vineyards enhanced by the favourable microclimate of the region. Bouvet-Ladubay sources its premium quality grapes from this region to create a range of acclaimed sparkling wines.

The winery's renowned global reputation emanates from its strict adherence to traditional wine-making techniques combined with cutting-edge technology. Bouvet-Ladubay employs the dark, humid cellars conducive for the 'traditional method' champagne, where each bottle is hand-turned, a practice known as ‘rémuage’. This meticulous attention to detail combined with the innovation of modern winemaking techniques results in wines that are beautifully balanced, layered with complex flavours and delicately effervescent.

But, wine isn't the only thing that makes a visit to Bouvet-Ladubay a captivating experience. The winery houses opulent underground galleries, which stretch over several miles. These mesmerising caverns previously quarried for tuffeau limestone and now ageing thousands of bottles of sparkling wines, offer guests unique guided tours – a winning combination of education and entertainment.

A noteworthy facet of Bouvet-Ladubay is the winery’s commitment towards environmental sustainability. It's well-documented advocacy for organic viticulture, and the use of renewable energy for wine production serves as a testament for sustainable wine-making practises.

Despite its rich legacy, Bouvet-Ladubay remains relevant today. The winery continues to create sparkling wines that are enjoyed around the world. In fact, Bouvet-Ladubay has claimed several awards confirming them as a leader in the global wine industry. Visit Bouvet-Ladubay, and immerse yourself in the epitome of French winemaking elegance.

Clearly, Bouvet-Ladubay doesn't just produce world-class wines; they tells a story of innovation, sustainability, and unyielding passion for winemaking. Worthy of a trip indeed!
