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.
