Domaine de L'Enchantoir Saumur Terres Blanches 2017

Hidden away in the heart of the Saumur area, the charming classified village “Le Puy-Notre-Dame” has been home to vines since the 16th Century. Since the beginning of its history in the 19th Century, l’Enchantoir’s vineyard has seen many vine growers and winemakers working on its clayey-chalky grounds. The richness of the Tuffeau stone in the soils is favourable to wine making and ageing, giving renowned rich, delicate and complex characteristics.

The vineyard is spread out across 17 hectares of land, where traditional Saumur vines blossom; Chenin, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc. Domaine de L'Enchantoir cultivates their vines with respect to the tradition, in order to preserve the richness of the terroir and to improve quality each and every year.

All of Domaine de L'Enchantoir's wines are certified under the Appellation (AOC) system and also certified Organic (Ecocert) since 2016. Thanks to the distinctive terroir, their red wines are actually renowned for being part of the Saumur Puy-Notre-Dame appellation. These wines are made, aged and matured in Domaine de L'Enchantoir's historical and listed remarkable courtyard, where they balance traditional methods and modern technology to produce the best.

Their underground troglodyte caves can be visited from their courtyard – just a small insight into the large network found in the Puy-Notre-Dame Terroir – caves which are perfect for stocking and preserving wine.
