Original vintage whiskey, wine and spirits trade magazine article titled SPARKLING WINES FROM SAUMUR.   Monsieur Jean Ackerman, founder of the firm of Ackerman-Laurance in 1811 decided he could produce in Saumur a similar wine to Champagne if he followed the same system of blending and other processes which had already made the reputation of that wine.  The result justified his views and was a tribute to his skill.  Today quality remains the watchword with the company with Managing Director Baron Raymond De Luze of Maison Ackerman Laurance, chairman of the International League Against Prohibition in Europe, Vice Chairman of the Commission of Exportation des Vins de France.  Dry-Royal wine served at the Savoy, the Carton, the Ritz, Dorchester House.  Pictured are arrival of wines at the entrance to the cellars, Disgorging Ackerman-Laurance's Dry-Royal, and Wines maturing in bottles.  Old 2 page 1935 post prohibition era article.
