Outre Terre 2014, Cabernet Franc

Maceration for 8 months in Georgian amphorae then maturation for 12 months in wood. The nose is floral and fresh, with hints of berries, herbaceous and smoky tones and lots of minerality. Broad and dense in the mouth, fresh, savoury and elegant, with very polite tannins and a long finish

Saumur Champigny Franc de Pied 2020, Cabernet Franc

From a micro plot of sandy soil. Free-range vines, saplings planted 1 metre x 1 metre (10,000 vines per hectare). Vinified in wooden vats. Only 900 bottles produced. Purest and unmediated expression of Cabernet Franc. It opens with Violet, then Currant, Blueberry and Raspberry, slightly smoky notes and great minerality. Sip fine and elegant, tasty, with barely noticeable tannin and persistent flavour.

Saumur Champigny Les Memoires 2017, Cabernet Franc

From 110-year-old vines on the Silex (Silice) of Dampierre, it is the Porsche of the entire Saumur Champigny appellation. Complex nose with floral tones and practically a parade of red and black fruits. Hints of earthy, humus and various types of pepper. Herbaceous and mineral. Splendid. Refined, mineral and streamlined. The tannin is velvety, the flavour important, the finish very long

Saumur Terres 2016Chenin Blanc

Maceration for 8 months in Georgian amphorae then maturation for 12 months in wood. The nose is floral and graceful, of ripe exotic fruit, spicy, mineral and honeyed. Fresh, full-bodied and generous, elegant in its minerality and long.

Hints of citrus fruits, grapefruit and lime, white flowers, then vegetal, aromatic herbs and green pepper, and finally acacia honey.
