The story.
Domaine du Vieux Pressoir dates back to 1892 and was a key player in the creation of the Saumur appellation in the 1930s as well as more recently the smaller appellation of Saumur Puy- Notre-Dame in 2009, which itself has been a winegrowing village since the thirteenth century. Claude Vagnon bought the estate in 2015, with its twenty-six hectares of Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Frédéric Etienne is winemaker, achieving effortless balance and purity across the range.
