AOC Saumur Brut
The outstanding Saumur Brut - a wine of distinction. The Cabernet Franc grape gives this wine a deliciously lingering finish, while the dominance of the Chenin provides perfect balance. It is the perfect accompaniment to special occasions.
Type of wine :
Fine French dry sparkling wine. A classic Saumur Brut featuring the lightness, freshness, liveliness and elegance of Chenin Blanc.
77% Chenin Blanc (20% of which is reserve wine), 17% Cabernet Franc, 6% Chardonnay.
Subsoil type :
A chalky subsoil, known locally as "tuffeau". The minerals in this soil play a vital role in creating wines with a fine sparkle. Another characteristic of this chalky layer is its ability to absorb the sun's warmth by day and diffuse it by night.
Vinification :
Selection of grape juices during extraction. Mastery in the choice of yeast and the blending of the cuvée by the cellar master. The characteristic sparkle develops during the second fermentation in the bottle. We also allow the wine to mature in our cellar for longer than the statutory provisions require.
Tasting notes :
Pale yellow in colour with a fine sparkle. A fruity, floral aroma with mineral notes on the nose. On the palate, a characterful, smooth, meaty and well-balanced wine. Serve at 6°C as an aperitif. The perfect complement to shellfish, grilled fish or fish served in a sauce, and white meats.
