Overview

A legacy of the past, the hamlet “Les Poyeux” has a history that is forever attached to it. Mentioned as early as 1802, among the first growths of the Saumur region, the hamlet “Les Poyeux” is considered as a reference terroir: “the gold mine”.

Elegant nose offering a wide range of aromas from fresh red fruits (raspberry) to ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry). A hint of empyreumatic (toasted) and spicy (grey pepper) aromas.

The attack is supple. Fleshy mouth, structured by coated tannins. Nice volume. Fresh finish (fresh mint), with character.
