Sparkling Wines

Saumur, town in the Loire giving its name to an extensive wine district and several appellations. Saumur is effectively a south western extension of Touraine, yet is more of a centre for the wine trade of Anjou-Saumur than is Anjou. The grapes grown in these latter two neighbouring regions are very similar, except that Saumur does not have Anjou’s range of potentially great sweet white wines.
