Presentation
The vintage
High Environmental Value from the 2021 vintage;
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 (citrus, raspberry, white peach). An early harvest is carried out to preserve a tasting balance.
Winemaking

Ageing
Matured on fine lees for four months and bottled in spring to preserve freshness.
