\r\n \r\nThe Saumur blanc appellation area covers 28 communes in Maine-et-Loire, 9 in Vienne and 2 in Deux-Sèvres. The vineyard covers a total area of 450 hectares, with annual production of around 25,000 hectolitres. The Saumur Blanc vineyards are scattered in islets, on tuffeau (chalk) hillocks and Senonian or Eocene outcrops. The tuffeau provides finesse and lightness. The climate is temperate oceanic, but the hills of the Saumurois region keep the westerly winds at bay. Parcels farthest from the Loire are therefore subject to continental influences. \r\n \r\nThe grape varieties used for Saumur Blanc are Chenin (minimum 80%), Chardonnay and Sauvignon. A dry, elegant white, sometimes very opulent, Saumur wine reveals its harmonious, finely mineral taste. Soft wines can be drunk within 5 years. The most concentrated white wines can be cellared for up to fifteen years. The Saumur Blanc appellation includes a number of top-quality estates, such as Domaine Saint-Just, Château de Villeneuve, Clos Rougeard, Domaine des Roches Neuves and Domaine Guiberteau. \r\n","Saumur blanc | Buy wine directly from the Loire Valley","4/5","See the 710 reviews","More information on the ","Buy the best white Saumur wines in private sale!","Rated site","19674 notices","20€","Free on your 1st order*.","Access to sales!","Discover our selection of the best producers of Saumur white wines","See all estates","Our latest sales of Saumur blanc wines","|","White wine","Organic","chenin","freshness","white flowers","aperitif","\"An elegant, lively cuvée\".","\"This Chenin, aged in foudres and barrels, opens with delightful notes of flowers, citrus and white fruit.
