Domaine Saint LandorL'Obligé AOC Saumur Puy-Notre-Dame

Terroir

The vines producing Cabernet Franc are located on the Turonian slopes of the appellation, with clay-limestone soil and a temperate climate. This typicality thus allows the grape an optimal maturation. The Saumur Puy-Notre-Dame appellation is a recent appellation, which imposes compliance with very strict specifications, with a sharp plot selection and a low yield, to produce a wine of high taste quality.

Vinification

After selecting the best plots of our vines, the grapes are harvested when ripe and then sorted, to keep only the fruit. A low temperature fermentation (between 20 and 25 ° C) is carried out with a long vatting of 20 to 30 days depending on the vintage. The final blend allows the wine to sublimate its aromas. Bottling is done after aging in new barrels for 15 to 18 months.
