The Society's Saumur Brut NV
Sparkling Wine from France - Loire
Gratien & Meyer make this excellent Saumur from the same chenin grape that makes Vouvray. Chez Gratien, a little cabernet franc is also added to accentuate the wine's natural fruitiness. The result is a delicious sparkler, a little honeyed and round, yet dry, crisp and refreshing. Ideal fizz for wedding receptions and parties.

Gratien and Meyer
Gratien & Meyer – a jewel in the Loire Valley’s Anjou-Saumur region – was founded by Alfred Gratien in 1864, then aged just 23, and in the same year he established the well-respected Champagne house that is his namesake. The ‘Meyer’ refers to Albert Jean Meyer, an enthusiastic wine expert from Alsace with whom Alfred Gratien joined forces ten years later in 1874, the same year of course in which The Society was founded. When Alfred died in 1885, the Meyer family was entrusted with the company and has continued to uphold its excellent traditions.
The Society first discovered the wines of Gratien & Meyer in 1906 when some Saumur was shipped to our cellars in London. The company quickly became The Society’s choice for our sparkling wines, and today Gratien & Meyer are still responsible The Society’s Saumur and Saumur Rosé as well as The Society’s Celebration Crémant de Loire, all of which are bestsellers.
The Gratien & Meyer house is based on the outskirts of Saumur, in the heart of the Loire’s Anjou region. The river helps to moderate the climate, which is similar to, but less severe than that of Champagne, while the region’s hillsides store daytime heat and the cool nights provide moisture.
Gratien & Meyer buy grapes, must and wine from carefully selected growers in the region. In recent years they have invested in their own vineyards (first crop 2018!), aiming to cover around 50% of their 1.8 million bottle production in due course.

A go-to sparkling wine, with excellent fizz and neither too dry or sweet. Chenin blanc grapes and a pinch of cabernet franc boost its fruitiness.
