To learn more

Lieu de refuge des biches qui viennent y grignoter les raisins mûrs, c’est sur les contreforts du plateau de Brossay, terres anciennes de silex et de fer du Jurassique, que grandissent les vignes de cabernet franc à l’origine de ce Saumur rouge. Les vendanges sont exclusivement manuelles.

The wines are stored in tunnels (Troglodytes) that wind throughout the Saumur region, allowing for optimal storage and preservation. After pressing the must, semi-carbonic maceration is carried out, with 50% using whole bunches and 50% using destemmed bunches. The wine is then aged for nine months in concrete tanks before bottling.

Domaine de l'Enchantoir

It is located in the heart of the Saumur region, in the village of Puy-Notre-Dame. The estate has been cultivated by several generations of winemakers since the early 19th century. Its 17 hectares are planted with Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc vines. The estate has been certified organic by Ecocert since 2016.

Loire Valley

Stretching from the hills of the Massif Central to the Atlantic Ocean, the Loire Valley is the largest wine-growing region in northern France. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is distinguished by the beauty of its landscapes, its châteaux, the diversity of its terroirs, and the elegance of its wines. The climate varies from continental in the east to maritime in the west, fostering a remarkably rich range of expressions.

The Loire Valley is the kingdom of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Franc, but it also boasts a multitude of other indigenous grape varieties such as Melon de Bourgogne, Grolleau, and Pineau d'Aunis. This diversity translates into a full range of wines: dry and crisp whites, fine and fruity reds, delicate rosés, elegant sparkling wines, and exceptional sweet wines.

What is a natural wine?

What is a natural wine?

A natural wine is made from organic or biodynamic grapes, harvested by hand and vinified without chemical inputs. No yeast or additives are used, and sulfur is very limited. The wine thus fully reflects the terroir and the winemaker's work.
