Location
The Saumur vineyards cover over 800 hectares on the south bank of the Loire River.
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
The grapes are destemmed. Then light maceration on skins, followed by pneumatic pressing. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless vats.
Ageing
Early bottling. The wine continues is aged in our tufa cellars, protected from light and temperature variations.
Varietal
Chenin ou chenin blanc : 100%
Advice

Delightful and expressive nose marrying citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and tropical fruit aromas.

It is an ideal partner for seafood, grilled fishes, white meats, typical cheeses from the Loire region (Valençay, Saint Maure de Touraine).
