Saumur Champigny Rouge "Les Plantagenets"

The Saumur vineyards cover over 800 hectares on the south bank of the Loire River.

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.

Complete destemming. 10 days of maceration.
Fermented in temperature-controlled vats and bottled in the tufa cellars, where the wine continues ageing, protected from light and temperature variations.

Aged for a minimum of 6 months on the lees.
