This is the wine that perhaps best evokes the gentleness of the Loire Valley. Cultivated since the 4th century, the vineyards began to flourish in the Middle Ages, before becoming the focus of a major trade in the 15th century, driven in particular by the two great abbeys of Saint Florent de Saumur and Fontevraud. Today, saumur-champigny is an AOC wine, to be enjoyed - in moderation - with family and friends. The French art of living.
