Presentation
The vintage
High Environmental Value from 2022.
Location
The vines extend over the hillsides of the Saumurois and Anjou regions.
Terroir
The main characteristic of the region is its clay-limestone soil: this soft white rock called tuffeau allows the vine to put down good roots and a moderate water supply.
In the vineyard
The plots are selected at the approach of the harvest, in August and September, for their ability to offer grapes of beautiful maturity and rich aromas of fresh fruit (red fruits). An early harvest is carried out to preserve a tasting balance.
Winemaking
Direct pressing to extract a nice aromatic potential. Vinification in thermo-regulated vats then bottled in spring to preserve freshness and fruitiness.
