The Ackerman Universe
Of Passion and Bubbles
At its origin, a strong ambition: “At Ackerman, we strive not only for the quality of our cuvées and the enhancement of our terroirs, but also for the satisfaction and trust of our customers. Our customer relationship is founded on attentive listening, respect for expectations and transparency.”
Maison Ackerman was founded in Saumur in 1811, a mythical date in the history of oenology. Also known as the year of the comet, 1811 is reputed to be one of the greatest vintages of all time.
That same year also saw the birth of the Imperial Prince of France, the future King of Rome and son of Napoleon I. It is interesting to note that this reference appears clearly in the coat of arms of Maison Ackerman-Laurance, embodied by the imperial crown.
Jean-Baptiste Ackerman pioneered in our region the elaboration of Saumur Brut and Crémant de Loire, according to the méthode traditionnelle. This was the work of a visionary, but it was also a collective epic, made possible by exceptional workers and collaborators who believed in this adventure. Today, the men and women of the House are driven by a shared passion for wine, quality, and respect for our region and our history. In the world of wine, passion is an unparalleled driving force, for behind every wine lie the people who bring it to life.
For many years, Maison Ackerman has been committed to a sustainable development approach and encourages its partners to take up this crucial challenge alongside it. Alternative and eco-responsible practices make it possible to fully integrate each plot into the ecosystem in which it is located…
Deeply rooted in its territory, Maison Ackerman is also fully committed to tourism development and the enhancement of heritage. Home to an architectural gem, its troglodyte cellars – the highest in the region – host an evolving scenography blending wine, troglodyte heritage and experiential art.
