  • With a pretty pale pink hue, this easy-drinking sparkling rosé offers attractive aromas of summer red berries complemented by subtle hints of vanilla. The off-dry palate is beautifully rounded and fruity, with a soft, refreshing finish.

The grapes were destemmed and gently pressed to extract the juice, fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. This sparkling cuvée was produced using the Charmat method, with the secondary fermentation taking place in
the tank with selected yeasts to obtain the sparkle or ‘prise de mousse’. The wine was then matured on its fine lees to create aromatic complexity and texture. The ‘liqueur d’expédition’ is the small amount of sweet liquid added before corking to
determine the wine’s final sweetness level. The wine spent three months on the lees while in the tank, which imparted tertiary aromas and texture to the palate.

Following the footsteps of the founder, Jean-Baptiste, Ackerman continues to follow the philosophy of showcasing the potential of the local varieties found in the Loire Valley. This cuvée comprises Pineau d'Aunis, a synonym for Chenin Noir, a relatively obscure variety now gaining popularity. Pineau d'Aunis can be challenging to cultivate as it is prone to producing irregular yields and is
highly susceptible to bunch rot. It is also sensitive to the soil conditions in which it is grown, ideally requiring a balance of clay, sand and gravel. Due to its pernickety nature, it had fallen from favour, and by the 1970s, less than 20 hectares were grown in
the Coteaux du Loire. However, now it is making a comeback and is valued for its lean and zippy character with gently peppery spiciness, berry notes and mineral tones. The vines are sustainably cultivated as per the HVE Level 3 certification.
