South of Saumur in the villages of Le Puy Notre Dame the Aupy family produces top quality sparkling wines, white and rose, made with the 'Methode Champenoise'. The Aupy family may not be easily available on the telephone or e-mail, but they deliver splendid sparkling wines made like Champagne.
Vin Mousseux is the French term for fully sparkling wine, covering any sparkling wine made outside the strict rules of named appellations like Champagne or Crémant. It can be produced by various methods, from the traditional bottle fermentation to the cheaper tank (Charmat) method, and from grapes grown anywhere in France. Because it isn't tied to a specific region or production standard, it offers producers considerable flexibility.
