Saumur-Champigny: The Lively and Fruity Face of Cabernet Franc
At the heart of the Loire Valley, the Saumur-Champigny AOC spans nine villages around Champigny, near Saumur. It produces only red wines from Cabernet Franc, known for freshness, finesse and joyful character.
Unique tuffeau and sandy soils
Vines grow on soft white tuffeau, sand and clay, in a sheltered microclimate. The tuffeau brings mineral elegance, while the mild weather helps develop fine aromatic expression.
Fruity, supple and radiant style
Saumur-Champigny reveals vibrant notes of cherry, blackcurrant, raspberry and violet. On the palate, it is juicy, smooth and bright, with fine tannins and refreshing energy.
A modern and seductive Loire red
Perfect young for its vibrant fruit, it can also age gracefully. Saumur-Champigny is an accessible, elegant expression of Loire Cabernet Franc.
Food pairings
Delicious with grilled meats, vegetarian cuisine, veal roast or goat cheese. Serve slightly chilled for full enjoyment.
