Saumur
The Saumur region, this realm of chalk and light, where the vine seems to converse with the white tuffeau stone!
Across nearly 1,400 hectares, Cabernet Franc reigns supreme for reds and rosés, yielding wines of airy refinement, with polished tannins and notes of raspberry, sweet bell pepper, and warm stone.
The Chenin Blanc, the sovereign grape variety for whites, expresses itself with exemplary distinction: lively and chiseled on the hillsides, fuller and more caressing in exceptional crus, where it may be adorned with honeyed nuances and a long mineral finish.
The soil, with its delicate limestone quality, lends these wines a crystalline purity and radiant longevity. Thus, the Saumur region, poised between rigor and voluptuousness, composes one of the most elegant chapters in the great book of the Loire.
