Presentation
Plantagenets is the name of a famous dynasty descended from Geoffrey V of Anjou. Legend has it that he used to wear a bracket of broom on his hat.
Location
The Saumur vineyards cover more than 800 hectares on the south bank of the Loire.
Terroir
The special feature of this area is its clay-limestone soil: this soft white stone, known as tuff, used to build the châteaux of the Loire, encourages the vines to develop their roots well and ensures a moderate water supply.
Winemaking
Destemming and light skin contact, followed by pneumatic pressing. Fermented in temperature-controlled vats and bottled in tufa cellars, where the wine continues to age, protected from light and temperature variations.
Ageing
Aged for a minimum of 4 months on lees.
Varietal
Chenin blanc : 100%
Advice
