    96/100 RVF : " Dynamic and brilliant, Clos Romans infuses the wine with phenomenal velvety texture and energy. A magnificent contemporary expression of Saumur Chenin Blanc.

    From a high-density Chenin Blanc plot located in Parnay, within an 11th-century walled vineyard overlooking the Loire River. The vines are planted in clay-limestone soil. Pressed for four hours and aged for nine months on the lees. Organic and biodynamic farming.

    Owner and history

    This cuvée comes from a beautiful walled vineyard on clay-limestone soils. The Chenin vines are cultivated organically and biodynamically. The walled vineyard covers only 11 ares (0.11 hectares), bordering the Loire River, which helps retain freshness in the grapes and intensifies the minerality.

    Vinification and aging

    - Harvesting and working the vines by hand
    - Fermentation in oval barrels (for 1 month)
    - Aged on lees for 9 months
