Tasting notes:
Maison Ackerman was established in 1811 and is renowned for its sparkling Saumur and Crémant de Loire from grapes grown on its calcareous tuffeau soils. Made by the traditional method and aged for up to three years on the lees and then in bottle, the wine is brut-style (8g/l residual sugar), with golden apples, lime zest and lemon custard accented by brioche. Lively acidity and velvet mousse texture give excellent structure to the integrated flavours and lead to a long, lifted finish. A good match for smoked salmon and crème fraîche with a lemon twist.
