Caves Louis de Grenelle is a family-owned sparkling wine producer located in the heart of Saumur, France. The winery is housed in a network of ancient tuffeau stone quarries, which provide the perfect cool, humid environment for aging traditional method sparkling wines. Visitors can explore the underground cellars on a guided tour, learning about the méthode traditionnelle used to produce Crémant de Loire and Saumur Brut. The tour culminates in a tasting of several cuvées, including their signature rosé and vintage offerings. The caves are atmospheric, with dim lighting and rows of bottles resting on pupitres, showcasing the art of riddling. Located just a short walk from the Loire River, the site offers a quintessential Saumur wine experience.
