Location: the appellation area includes 20 communes in Maine-et-Loire, 9 in Vienne and 2 in Deux-Sèvres.
Surface area: 550 ha
Soils: the vineyard is scattered in islets, on the tufa (chalk) hills and Senonian or Eocene outcrops.
Climate: temperate oceanic, but the Saumurois hills slow down the westerly winds; the plots furthest from the Loire are therefore subject to a continental influence.
The wine
Annual production: 30,000 hl, or 3.9 million bottles
Average yield: 55 hl/ha
Grape varieties: Cabernet Franc (70% min), Cabernet Sauvignon, Pineau d'Aunis
Tasting
Eye: bright, ruby red color.
