Saumur Brut //​ Domaine du Vieux Pressoir

The Chardonnay imparts depth and complexity for the overall balance while the Chenin Blanc lends citrus and hints of honey for a creamy texture. The wine develops a beautiful complexity of aromas and lovely volume: generous nose of fleshy pear and peach and notes of toasted brioche.

Winemaker

Frédéric Etienne

Farming

Certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE).

Region

Saumur, Loire Valley

Vineyard

From 18-30 year old vines planted on Jurassic soils of hard limestone, flint and clay.

Grapes

Chenin Blanc (70%)
​Chardonnay (30%)


Winemaking

Harvested at good ripeness in order to get the right balance between sugar and acidity. After racking, Chenin and Chardonnay are made separately. Slow fermentation at low temperature (16°C to 17°C). Then Chenin and Chardonnay are blended, prior to traditional method secondary fermentation in bottle.
