Ackerman Royal Brut Crémant de Loire AOP 0.75L

A Crémant that carries the elegance of the Loire Valley into every perlage: The Ackerman Royal Brut shows how much expressiveness is hidden in one of the oldest sparkling wine regions of France.

Ackerman is a traditional house in Saumur with a long history in Loire sparkling wine production. The grapes for this Crémant grow on loamy-calcareous soils — a subsoil that gives the Cabernet Franc grape variety structure and a fine mineral note. As a Crémant de Loire AOP, the wine is subject to strict requirements for hand-picking and aging on the lees, which clearly distinguishes it from simple sparkling wine.

In the glass, it shows a fine, persistent perlage. In the nose, red currant and a hint of raspberry, underpinned by subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is fresh and taut, with a lively acid structure and a clean, dry finish — typical for a well-made Brut from this region.

Served well chilled at 7–9 °C, it works just as well as an aperitif as it does with Rillettes de Tours, goat cheese from the Loire, or light appetizers with smoked salmon.
