Green apple, pear, honey, mineral structure, lactic hint. Fruity and round on the palate, with good volume and balance, this is a very pretty, highly drinkable Chenin!

100% Chenin from 40 to 50 years old vines, grown organically, planted in Thouars on clay-limestone soils and in Montlouis-sur-Loire on clay-siliceous soils. Harvested by hand in small crates. Natural vinification: direct pressing, fermentation and maturation for 10 months, 3/4 in barrels that have seen several wines and 1/4 in concrete tanks. Unfined and unfiltered, bottled in June 2023 with just a micro-dose of sulfur.
Frantz Saumon
Frantz Saumon is one of those winemakers who are already well established on their terroir, but who actually arrived in the wine world by chance... Originally from Berry, this former forester who worked in Canada gave up everything to devote himself to his passion. This is the 90's... what a long way we have come! At this time, Frantz follows the very famous oenological formation of Amboise....
