Saumur Rosé Réserve des Vignerons

Presentation

Presentation
The winegrowers offer you their very best in this historic cuvée from the Cave de Saumur. The "horse-head" logo is a reminder of the strong horse-riding tradition in Saumur, associated with the knowledge and expertise of the Cadre Noir elite cavalry unit.
Location
The vines are planted on hillsides in the Saumur and Anjou areas.
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%
