Presentation
Presentation
The "Vallée Loire" brand is a group of wines that are ambassadors for the Val de Loire AOP, marked by their character, freshness and accessibility.
Location
The vines are planted on the hillsides of the Saumur region.
Terroir
The vines are planted on clay-limestone soil: this soft white stone, known as tuffeau, used in the construction of the châteaux of the Loire, encourages the vine's roots to develop well and ensures a moderate supply of water.
Winemaking
Destemming and light skin contact, followed by pneumatic pressing. Fermented in temperature-controlled vats and bottled in the tufa cellars, where the wine continues ageing, protected from light and temperature variations.
Ageing
Aged on lees for 4 months before bottling.
Varietal
Chenin blanc : 100%
Advice
Serving
Serve chilled (8-10°C).
Visual appearance
Lovely pale-golden colour with silver highlights.
At nose
Luscious, complex, intense bouquet, bursting with citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and tropical fruit (pineapple) aromas.
On the palate
Clean, soft and fresh on the palate. Long, citrus aftertaste.
Food pairings
Ideal with fish and seafood, meat dishes, cheeses (goat's cheeses) and fruit tarts (lemon, apricot, etc.).
