Maison Bouvet Ladubay

The History of the House

Founded in 1851 in Saumur, Bouvet Ladubay is one of the oldest producers of Crémant de Loire. Established by Étienne Bouvet, a pioneer in sparkling wine production in Anjou, the house has combined tradition and innovation from the start to craft premium crémants using the traditional method.

Today, Patrice Monmousseau, the third generation leading Bouvet Ladubay, continues to champion the promotion of the estate's sparkling and still wines.
