Saumur Champigny Lisagathe by Chateau du Hureau

Description

This Saumur Champigny Cuvée Lisagathes Chateau du Hureau is a 100% Cabernet Franc, unfiltered, the harvest is manual, fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in wood between 18 and 24 months .. The dress is purple with purple refet nose offers notes of red fruits and spices. The palate is crisp and full, and the woody notes are revealed. If it existed this wine would be part of the Grands Crus Saumur Champigny .The tufa, the blessed rock of the Loire Valley! Under all these parcels we find the tufa, the limestone Cretaceous rock with which are built the Castles of the Loire, and all the dwellings of the region. In addition to its aesthetic qualities - imagine another stone ... Chambord, Chenonceau or Saumur would not catch the light in this way! - and its mechanical qualities (our castles are still standing ...), the tufa has also proved to be a source rock ideal for viticultural soils: it is a rock that heats up easily and that perfectly regulates the water supply of the vine. The soils on this tuffeau filtrant are never in excess of water but in the summer drought, the roots of the vines can always find there the little humidity necessary for a continuous maturation of the grapes. The differences in soil texture, thickness above the tufa, exposure, distance from the Loire, altitude ... the origin of the plants, and of course also the age of the vine give different potentials for each plot. It is because they love our tuffeau that Chenin and Cabernet Franc have become the kings of Saumur and Touraine
