    The vineyard
    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.


    Nose: finesse and lightness. Nose of red fruits and flowers (iris, violet).

    Palate: rather supple, sometimes very dense, with fine and velvety tannins.

    Serving temperature: 16-18°
