Presentation
Location
The Saumur vineyards cover over 800 hectares on the south bank of the Loire River.
Terroir
The grapes come from selected clay-limestone, tufa chalk, and shale terroirs to the south of the Saumur area. Careful ageing in our tufa chalk cellars enhances its freshness and finesse.
Winemaking
Handpicking of grapes, light pressing and cool fermentation (18°C) to preserve all the aromas. Second fermentation of selected wines in the bottle (according to the Méthode Traditionnelle).
Ageing
The bottles are stocked on racks for at least 18 to 24 months (minimum) in our tufa cellars to develop an incomparably fine bead.
Varietal
Chenin blanc : 100%
Advice
Serving

Complex nose, combining the freshness and the typical floral bouquet of Chenin blanc, the fruity aromas of Chardonnay and Cabernet franc.
