"Floral, fresh and delicately fragrant, this tasty sparkling wine shows grapefruit, stone fruit and vibrant citrus notes on the nose with a hint of ripe strawberry. It is flavoursome and delightfully crisp with a lengthy attractive finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2019

A bright salmon pink colour in the glass with fine bubbles. Delicate and elegant on the nose with notes of strawberries and raspberries, while the palate is round and fresh with sweet berry notes, red currant and a long, fresh finish.

This sparkling wine is made from 100% Loire grapes. Because of its northern location, the grapes maintain a high level of acidity. The oenologists take particular care when blending this wine, in order to conserve the Marquis de la Tour style, that is to say, a crisp, fruity, aromatic and light wine. The second fermentation preserves these features, all the while, giving birth to refined and elegant bubbles. The wine is the matured on the fine lees to foster aromatic complexity, fat and roundness. The expedition liqueur made from Chenin offers vivacity, roundness and structure. It is matured for 4 months in vats. The dosage has been perfected to make a clean, fruity but dry sparkling wine of extraordinary quality at a very attractive price.

The Loire Valley has often been called the garden of France. This pastoral landscape, with its gently rolling hills and majestic chateaux, is the largest sparkling wine region in France, outside of Champagne. One of the best known names in fine Loire Valley sparkling wines is Marquis de la Tour from Maison Ackerman. Maison Ackerman, which has been identified with premium quality Loire Valley sparkling wines since 1811, is the Loire Valleys single largest wine producer. Ackerman today has a fully fledged sustainable development approach based on maintaining the right balance between the social, economic and environmental aspects of wine production. At Ackerman, this means respecting terroirs, holding onto their personal values and pursuing a viable economic approach. Named for a 16th century tower (tour) which still exists today, Marquis de la Tour reflects a long heritage of sparkling wine production. It has been a welcome guest and the toast of the party at social gatherings and family celebrations, both formal and casual. Its handsome packaging projects a timeless, classic elegance and is a charming and affordably priced sparkling wine.
