Intensity
Coming from the vineyard which surrounds the château, this cuvée is only produced in the best years. It is aged for 14 months in 12hl wooden vats. It is distinguished by its freshness, fine-grained tannins, silken texture, elegance and sapid, chalky finish. A remarkable wine which needs at least five years to release its full potential.
Château de Villeneuve
★ Partner ProducerJean-Pierre Chevalier's parents (winegrowers for three generations) bought Château de Villeneuve in 1969. Vines have existed on the property since the 16th century. There are 16 hectares of Chenin and 20 hectares of Cabernet Franc planted on limestone bedrock. The châteaux of this region are built from this same material. The vineyard has organic certification and Jean-Pierre Chevallier run the estate, producing terroir driven wines with great purity and freshness. A reference of Saumur-Champigny.
