Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux

The grapes come from the Les Poyeux vineyard site, whose clay-sandy soils lie over limestone bedrock; the vines are said to be around 40 to 55 years old and the harvest is carried out by hand. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts, mostly in temperature-controlled concrete vats, with a long period of skin contact lasting around 25 to 30 days. The wine is matured for around 18 months in wooden vessels, casks and barriques, with part of the wine matured in concrete. It shows dark berries, cherry, floral and earthy notes, juicy acidity, fine-grained tannins and a medium to full-bodied palate.
