Vineyard

Located in the Saumur appellation within the Saumurois, the vineyard benefits from exceptional limestone-rich soils ideal for Chenin cultivation.

Vinification & Aging

Careful vinification preserves the freshness and expression of Chenin, followed by aging on fine lees to round out the texture and enhance the aromatic profile without losing vivacity. This process contributes to the wine’s balance and complexity.
