CHATEAU DU HUREAU SAUMUR CHAMPIGNY TUFFE
oming from a dozen plots of young and old Cabernet Franc vines, it is a blend of different terroirs, all in Saumur and Dampierre sur Loire.
The common denominator of all these plots is the Tuffeau - here, we often say "la tuffe" - a few dozen centimeters or several meters deep.
Differences in soil, exposure, age of the vines, this mosaic is very characteristic of the Saumur-Champigny appellation and this Tuffe vintage is an example of what this appellation has most charming:
On a serious base of very ripe Cabernet grapes, a wine which, precisely, does not take itself too seriously, sweet, fruity, cheerful, capable of accompanying you throughout a meal, or until the end of the night!
