The wine's story:<\/span><\/h3>

Les Poyeux is a legendary name in Saumur, associated above all with Cabernet Franc, but Fabien Duveau also makes a white Chenin Blanc from this site. That is what makes the wine special: Poyeux is today almost entirely devoted to the red variety, but Duveau\u2019s Chenin reveals another facet of the site\u2019s limestone, sand and clay.<\/p>

Duveau's presentation emphasises that Poyeux gives the Chenin roundness, complexity and minerality. This is a wine in which Chenin Blanc is not merely a fresh white, but a serious, layered and gastronomic wine.<\/p>

Winemaking:<\/span><\/h3>
  • Grape: 100% Chenin Blanc<\/li>
  • Appellation: AOC Saumur Blanc<\/li>
  • Village: Chac\u00e9<\/li>
  • Site: Les Poyeux<\/li>
  • Soil: sand and tuffeau; the producer\u2019s website also describes it as sand turning to clay at depth, with sandstone stones<\/li>
  • Vines: for Poyeux, the producer's website refers to planting in 1976<\/li>
  • Fermentation: native yeasts<\/li>
  • Ageing: 12 months on the lees in oak barrels of various ages<\/li>
  • Serving: around 12 \u00b0C<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Tasting notes:<\/span><\/h3>

    On the nose, white blossom, citrus, apple and pear. On the palate the wine is dry with a fresh attack, but with a deeper texture and longer finish than Hunaudi\u00e8re. Ageing on the lees and in barrel adds discreet toastiness, a buttery feel and a hint of bread crust, but minerality and Chenin\u2019s acidity remain the wine\u2019s backbone.<\/p>

    Food pairing:<\/span><\/h3>
    • Scallops or prawns with a buttery sauce<\/li>
    • Oven-baked zander, cod or sea bass<\/li>
    • Poultry with a cream sauce or mushrooms<\/li>
    • Roasted cauliflower, celeriac or pumpkin<\/li>
    • Semi-hard and mature goat's cheeses<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Ageing potential:<\/span><\/h3>

      5\u201310 years, probably longer in good cellar conditions. Poyeux is one of the Loire white wines with the most serious ageing potential.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
