Description

This wine is made from two plots of Chenin grapes aged between 80 to 100 years. These plots are situated on a hillside with clay-limestone soil near the Loire River, facing South-East. The wine is produced by direct pressing and fermenting with indigenous yeasts. It is then aged for 18 months on fermentation lees in 228-litre barrels, of which one-third are new. The wine is bottled without filtration. Absolutely sensational Chenin Blanc packed with flavour and elegance.

Grange Saint-Sauveur

Alice and Antoine Pouponneau cultivate 6.5 hectares of old vines biodynamically in Le Thoureil, between Angers and Saumur. Alice, rooted in Burgundy, returned to viticulture in 2017 after a social work career. Antoine, with a background as cellar master in Bandol and a microbiology expert specializing in native yeast fermentation, has consulted for top estates like Château Latour and Cheval Blanc. Together, they craft authentic, character-driven wines.

Loire Valley

The Loire Valley in France is a prestigious wine region renowned for its diverse wines and picturesque landscapes. Stretching along the Loire River, it benefits from a varied climate and a range of soil types, ideal for viticulture. It is particularly famous for its white wines, including the crisp and mineral-rich Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and the aromatic Chenin Blanc from Vouvray and Saumur. The area also produces excellent reds, such as the light and fruity Cabernet Franc from Chinon and Bourgueil. Rosé and sparkling wines, like Crémant de Loire, add to the diversity of the region. With its rich winemaking heritage, varied terroirs, and high-quality wines, the Loire Valley offers an exceptional experience for wine enthusiasts seeking both classic and innovative wines.
