Chenin De Targé Saumur Blanc

Early manual harvest for freshness and lightness

Vinification	Direct pneumatic pressing of the grapes then settling in vats. Fermentation takes place in barrels for 4 weeks, then we rack off to make room for the Fresnettes in the barrels. Bottling takes place in the spring to lock in the fresh citrus flavors in the bottle, and 6 months later it is available for sale.
Vineyard Soil	Silty and flinty clays 80 cm deep, then Turonian limestone in the subsoil.
Harvest	Manual harvest quite early to obtain freshness and lightness in the grapes.
Food Pairings	Drink with seafood, oysters, fresh cheeses or quite simply as an aperitif, on the beach or on the terrace.
Serving Temp	5°C, chilled is best!
Cellaring	Consume within two years to preserve the aromas, salinity, and freshness.
