La cuvée de saumur-champigny 100% Vieilles Vignes est un véritable reflet de son terroir aux sols calcaires. En bouche, le résultat est époustouflant : une explosion de fruits rouges, mais aussi de réglisses et d'épices. Un vin qui peut se garder jusqu'à 10 ans. More info

Jean-Pierre Chevallier’s cuvée is made exclusively from organically grown Cabernet Franc. He carefully keeps his wines for the entire vinification in cellars dug in the tuffeau stone. Aged for 14 months in oak barriques, they are not marked by woody aromas. Jean-Pierre ensures that they have previously contained three wines. The wines therefore develop aromas of red fruit (cooked strawberry, raspberry), stone fruits, spices and licorice. On the palate, wine lovers are immediately seduced by the suppleness of their tannins and the aromas of red fruit that they find in the finish.

Saumur-Champigny Vieilles vignes Château de Villeneuve serve at a temperature of 16°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Pâté de campagne, Cocotte de pintade aux fruits secs, Cailles laquées au vinaigre balsamique, au verjus et aux raisins.
