We love the Loire! It may not be cool, but it is awesome (?!). Situated in the south of the Saumur region, Domaine du Vieux Pressoir has been in existence since the 1890s. All stages of the vinification process are subject to meticulous care and attention, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and value and they are currently undergoing organic conversion. The estate spreads over 26 hectares planted with Chenin Blanc, a little Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc.
This pack is an avatar for the versatility of the region, with a steely dry Chenin ‘Elegance', and smaller plot, barrel aged ‘Alienor’. Loire is famous for it’s Champagne method sparkling, its a source of great value. Silver Brut is made from white varieties and the Pink Brut is made from Cabernet Franc. There is also a steel aged Cabernet Franc Saumur and a more serious small plot, barrel aged ‘Notre Dame’ Rouge. Price to quality ratio here is off the charts!
