    Description of Saumur Blanc "Terres"

    Estate

    The Michel Chevré estate, managed by Thierry Germain, is known for its ability to express the finesse of Chenin Blanc under optimal Saumur terroir conditions.

    Vineyard

    Located in the Saumurois region, this vineyard benefits from limestone soils and ideal exposure for Chenin Blanc, providing conditions conducive to balanced ripening.

    Wine

    This Saumur white wine reveals freshness and typical elegance, with an aromatic profile marked by minerality and floral notes which evolve into a rich and lively texture on the palate.

    Vintage

    The 2016 vintage was favorable in the region, featuring a warm summer that enabled good Chenin ripeness while preserving the vital acidity for the wine’s balance.

    Vinification & Aging

    Vinification is carefully managed to preserve freshness and varietal purity. Aging usually takes place in stainless steel tanks to maintain vibrancy and aromatic clarity.

    Grape Variety

    Chenin Blanc
