The wine region of Cabernet de Saumur
AOC rosé (1964, 80–110 ha in Saumurois, ~700,000 bottles) blended from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon by direct pressing without destemming — vinification close to Cabernet d'Anjou. Luminous pink robe with salmon tints, nose of fresh and delicate red fruits (strawberry, raspberry). Balanced and discreet palate, suave and round with moderate residual sugar. Primarily chalky white tuffeau soils characteristic of Saumurois; drink young for fruity brightness.
The wine region of Loire Valley
Kingdom of lively, dry whites and fine sparklers. Mineral, taut Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé) with citrus and gunflint notes. Multiform Chenin Blanc (Vouvray, Savennières, Layon): straight dry, floral off-dry or noble sweet honey-quince. Saline, iodised Muscadet (Melon B.
The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
