We are delighted to return to Belgium as every year for the new edition of the Vinobby trade fair which will be held from October 7 to 9 in Eghezée near Namur.
This year we are happy to let you taste some new products, always certified organic!, proof of our commitment to offering you lively and expressive wines:
White wines:
- Terres Blanches 2020 : a 100% Chenin Blanc Saumur Blanc typical of Saumur AOC wines. Our Chenins grow on the clay-limestone soils of the Saumur-Puy-Notre-Dame appellation on south-facing slopes, which gives our wines richness and minerality. We age this wine for 8 to 10 months in our century-old concrete vats in order to preserve its freshness and its aromas of white fruits (or exotic fruits for sunny years).
- Refuge de Chavannes 2017 : Our other appellation Saumur blanc 100% Chenin Blanc also raised on Clay-Limestone Terroirs and aged in oak barrels for at least 2 years in order to reveal the roundness, elegance and salinity of this native grape variety. Our know-how has been rewarded by a gold medal at the Challenge International du Vin de Bordeaux in 2018.
Red wines:
- Ilot des Biches 2020 : Cuvée without sulfur! our atypical Saumur red because it comes from bunches of Cabernet Franc from the same plot at the foot of the place called “Vigne Biche”. This plot has the particularity of being located on a geological fault of rocks older than the clay-limestone of the Puy Notre Dame hillock made up of clay, iron and flint from the Jurrassic (the age of the dinosaurs:). This particularity gives our wines a freshness and a very particular “sharp” character, which makes it a very original AOC Saumur red wine. This atypical character was also rewarded for our 2018 vintage with a gold medal at the Independent Winegrowers Competition We age this wine in our century-old concrete vats to preserve the brand of this terroir and retain the freshness and fruitiness that we expect from an AOC Saumur red.
- Le Pied à l'Etrier 2018 : The signature wine of Domaine de l'Enchantoir! An AOC Saumur-Puy-Notre-Dame that we make from 100% Cabernet Franc bunches grown on Turonian clay-limestone terroir in our small village of Chavannes on the edge of Puy Notre Dame. This wine is aged for around 18 months in our century-old concrete vats to preserve the fruity and spicy character of our Cabernet Franc from Puy Notre Dame.
- Clos du Petit Chavannes 2017 : A nugget in very limited quantity due to the frost! Our AOC Saumur-Puy-Notre-Dame aged in oak barrels for 1 and a half years to provide roundness and elegance to our “tuffe” Cabernet Franc and reveal their aromas of spice and pepper. Wine to keep in the cellar for a beautiful harmony between aromas and tannins.
The fine bubbles:
- Chavannaise : a pet'nat' rosé vinified using the ancestral method from Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Chenin grapes. A bubble of red fruits.
- Le Turbulente : a white pet'nat' vinified using the ancestral method from Chardonnay and Chenin grapes. A sparkling white with finesse and freshness.
A sweet rosé: an unusual one to absolutely discover.
