Just 700 meters from the Loire River, this Savennières is born from a terroir of wind-blown and sandstone soils weathered over ancient schist. Each cluster of Chenin was carefully hand-harvested through successive selections, then fermented and aged on fine lees in 550-liter sandstone eggs for 12 months. This Savennières impresses with its density and complexity. On the palate, it reveals a great dry white — balanced, elegant, and exceptionally concentrated. Clos des 7 Quartiers is truly captivating and built to stand the test of time, promising moments of deep emotion for years to come.

The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness through successive selections. A gentle whole-cluster pressing is followed by light settling in tank before alcoholic fermentation and ageing in small 550-liter sandstone eggs. Ageing on fine lees lasts 12 months, allowing the wine to gain in complexity.
