"It appears as if we've come across this rouged monarch draped in
his royal robes (Cremant du Roi) during a transcendent moment, carried
away on the exquisite proboscis-tickling bubbles of Veuve Amiot sparkling
wine. A convincing design of infinite charm that effortlessly persuades
without sacrificing one jot of intimate amusement. In 1884, Elisa
Amiot suddenly found herself a widow (veuve) with four children to
raise. As she lived in the Saumur region, an area whose sparkling
wines had become all the rage, she went into the distilling business.
She proved to have a flare for so effectively promoting both herself
and her bubbly that her firm prospered right from the start" (Rennert
PAI-XLIII, 212)
"Veuve Amiot can trace its origins back to 1884 when the recently
widowed Elizabeth Amiot constructed cellars in Saumur and began producing
high quality sparkling wines. The original Veuve Amiot was a shrewd
business lady and soon the company became one of the leading sparkling
wine houses in the Loire. Nowadays the firm produces over 3 million
bottles a year and since 1971 has been owned by the Italian vermouth
and sparkling wine producer, Martini e Rossi." (Berry Bros. &
