93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
A classic Méthode Traditionnelle made of Chardonnay with a touch of Chenin Blanc.
“This vibrant crémant is bursting with energy. The wine opens with guava, gooseberry, Asian pear and starfruit along with the faintest hint of dried herbs. The palate leads with tart green apple cloaked in lemon citrus. Open for a celebration or keep for yourself.”
- Wine Enthusiast Magazine
” Another brilliant sparkler from the Loire Valley, Bulle Royale lives up to its name with fine bubbles, crisp citrus, and notes of green apple, white peach, and toasted brioche. The elegant, creamy mousse and clean finish make this Crémant a delightful alternative to Champagne at half the price. If you love Bouvet Brut or the De Chanceny Cremant de Loire Brut NV that we offer at Xmas you will love this "

Maison Ackerman, established in 1811 by Jean-Baptiste Ackerman in Saumur, holds the distinction of being the Loire Valley's first producer of fine sparkling wines. Jean-Baptiste, originally from Brussels, was a pioneer in introducing the traditional method of sparkling wine production—known as the méthode traditionnelle — to the region, laying the foundation for what would become Crémant de Loire. The winery is renowned for its extensive troglodytic caves, carved into the local tuffeau stone, which provide an ideal environment for aging wines. These caves have also become a cultural attraction, hosting art installations and exhibitions that intertwine the worlds of wine and art.
Today, Maison Ackerman continues to be a leading producer of sparkling wines in the Loire Valley, upholding a legacy of quality and innovation that spans over two centuries.
