    Description Saumur-Champigny "La Paterne"

    Estate

    Domaine Antoine Sanzay is a family-run estate based in Varrains, at the heart of the Saumur-Champigny appellation. Antoine Sanzay took over in 1999 and quickly converted to organic farming. Today, he is recognized for producing pure wines that express their terroir faithfully. The estate embraces minimal intervention and respect for the soil.

    Vineyard

    The vineyard is located in the Saumurois, on limestone-clay soils and tuffeau, typical of the region. The Cabernet Franc vines benefit from a temperate climate with Loire influences, promoting optimal ripening. Organic viticulture is practiced across the estate. Some vines are over 40 years old, adding depth to the wines.

    Wine

    This 2020 Saumur-Champigny from Domaine Antoine Sanzay is a classic, elegant expression of Cabernet Franc. It is a structured red wine, fruit-forward and well balanced. The aromatic profile highlights varietal character with freshness. Ideal with white meats or charcuterie.

    Vintage

    The 2020 vintage was marked by warm, dry weather that ensured excellent grape ripeness. Harvested at perfect maturity, the grapes yielded concentrated wines with pure fruit and balanced structure. This vintage offers wines that are enjoyable young and with good aging potential.

    Vinification & Aging

    Fermentation is done with native yeasts and minimal intervention. Vinifications are carried out in concrete tanks. The wine is aged for approximately 12 months mainly in tanks to preserve the natural fruit and freshness. Neither fining nor aggressive filtration is applied before bottling.
