Sail up the Loire River, on a "gabare" - a local type of boat - meandering through the vineyards and discovering our wines: "Vallée Loire" is a group of wines that act as ambassadors for the Loire Valley AOP, marked by their character, freshness, and approachability.
Presentation
Location
The vines are planted on hillsides in the Saumur area.
Terroir
The key feature of this area is its clay limestone soil: this soft, white stone, known as tufa, used to build the Loire Valley Castles, promotes good root development in the vines and ensures a moderate water supply.
Winemaking
Direct pressing enhances its lovely aromatic potential. Fermented in temperature-controlled vats and bottled the following spring to preserve its freshness and fruit.
Ageing
Aged for a minimum of 6 months on the lees.
Varietal
Cabernet franc : 100%
