Saumur white - Eclat de vigne

LOCATION This cuvée comes from parcels located in the heart of the Saumurois region and has been produced organically for more than ten years. 

TERROIR The vines cover 5 hectares, on a clay-limestone soil which sublimates the expression of Chenin blanc. The work in the vineyard is meticulous throughout the year.  

VINIFICATION Monitoring of ripeness by regular tasting of the grapes. Gentle pressing and light settling to preserve the aromatic potential. Traditional vinification with temperature control (17 to 19°C). 

AGEING Aged on fine lees during 4 months, bottled, then stored in our cellars at a depth of 25m, where the wine continues to age protected from light and temperature variations.

SERVING Served chilled (10-12°C)

TASTING NOTES Pale gold colour with silver highlights. Crisp and greedy nose with notes of white fruits (pear, vine peach), ripe fruits (pineapple) and a fine minerality. The attack is lively. The freshness is nicely counterbalanced by a volume and unctuousness in the mouth. The finish is crisp and lingers on sweet notes of vine peach.

FOOD PAIRING Perfect as an aperitif or with a salad, a platter of cold meats, fish terrines, poultry or even goat's cheese (Selles sur Cher, Chabichou etc).
