n 1864, Alfred Gratien built his cellars on the Saumur hillside, in the ancient tuffeau tunnels. Originally a mining site, these stone quarries were used to build the region's various monuments including the Chateau de Saumur. The quarries had been abandoned for several years when Alfred Gratien purchased the estate and became the owner of 50 acres of vines and 3 miles of tunnels. It was then that he began the production of sparkling wines in Saumur. After establishing a second House in Epernay that same year, he also began producing champagne. Sometime later, he met Jean-Albert Meyer, who was a winemaker's son from the region of Alsace. The partnership between these two extremely passionate men helped the company grow exponentially, making the work of Alfred Gratien more sustainable. In 1884, Mr. Gratien started to work on the chateau Gratien, but died before its completion in 1885, leaving Jean-Albert Meyer as the General Manager of the cellars. Under the direction of Mr. Meyer, the business was prospering so well that, in 1886, Mrs. Gratien decided to make him her business partner and the name of the cellars was changed to Gratien & Meyer.
