Saumur Champigny Les Plantagenets

Presentation

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
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.
Ageing
Aged for a minimum of 6 months on the lees.
Varietal
Cabernet franc : 100%
