LE CLOS SAUMUR CHAMPIGNY 2021 CHATEAU DE LA FESSARDIERE

Between Anjou, Touraine and Poitou, in the heart of the Loire Valley, Château de la Fessardière is located in Turquant, a charming Loire village known for its troglodyte dwellings, hilltop vineyards and the magnificent scenery offered by the Loire River below the white chalk cliffs.

Our vineyards, managed by the Poitevin family, extend over the communes of Turquant and Montsoreau, which are part of the Saumur Champigny DPO. The terroir is made up of clay-limestone soil and precious tufa rock in the subsoil. This tuffeau stone, which is the hallmark of the Loire Valley’s cultural identity through its countless castles, abbeys, towns and villages, provides vines with a regular supply of water, even in times of drought, thanks to its porosity. Tuffeau also brings freshness and fruitiness to our cuvées.
