The wine's story:

The wine belongs in the context of Saumur’s new wave: Chenin Blanc, organic viticulture, small volumes and cellar work using amphorae, 500-litre barrels and concrete. Léo is based in the village of Parnay and works with the Saumur and Saumur-Champigny appellations.

If the wine is a Chenin Blanc, its role in the diWine range is clear: alongside Fabien Duveau, it adds a younger and slightly freer-breathing view of Saumur. Not a classic Sancerre-style Sauvignon, but a Loire white where acidity, texture and stoniness are equally important.

Winemaking:

  • Grape: Chenin Blanc 
  • Appellation: Saumur 
  • Soil: clay, limestone, chalk, according to the producer’s general information 
  • Farming: organic viticulture
  • Vinification: the producer uses amphorae, 500L barrels and concrete

Tasting notes:

A dry, fresh and textured Chenin Blanc, where you can expect yellow apple, citrus, white blossom, a slightly waxy texture and limestone minerality. 

Food pairing:

  • Fish tartare or ceviche
  • Scallops, prawns, white fish
  • Chicken or turkey with a lemony sauce
  • Celeriac, roasted onion, cauliflower
  • Goat's cheese

Ageing potential:

3–6 years.

Léo Charruau works in the village of Parnay in the Saumur area, making Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc in the Saumur and Saumur-Champigny appellations. His first vintage was 2021, and he comes from a family winegrowing history that, according to records, goes back to the 18th century. Léo farms about 6.5 hectares organically. In the cellar he uses amphorae, 500-litre barrels and raw concrete. In style he is a new-generation Saumur producer: precise, curious, full of living energy and moving towards low intervention.
