- The Plume cuvée is a red Saumur-Champigny made from Cabernet Franc. It is made from 50-year-old vines grown organically and biodynamically across 8.8 hectares of vineyard. The terroir there is rich in clay and chalk.
After being harvested by hand, the bunches are destemmed before vinification. The only sulfur added during the process appears during bottling. Little to no additives are used, and the juice ferments using wild yeasts. The wine matures in concrete vats for 5 to 6 months, depending on the vintage. In the glass, this Saumur exudes a fresh nose of red fruit, black fruit, and gentle spices. The palate is flavorful with a nice finesse to it. This is a cuvée that can be enjoyed now, whilst it's still fruity. Serve alongside a beef fillet or roasted veal.
