As its name suggests, Dampierre sur Loire was first known for its tuffeau quarrying. All the cellars here were dug by man, the first over a thousand years ago, and our cellar is just one tiny part of a gigantic underground network.
By digging in the tufa stone, our ancestors were killing two birds with one stone: they were selling or using the ashlars, and at the same time building a home and shelter for their livestock and crops, including, of course, the wine.

Description

Vinified separately since 1989, this cuvée comes from our oldest Cabernet Franc vineyard: planted in 1943, its old vines deserve some respect! Still in very good health, they continue, vintage after vintage, to give us bottles of a Saumur Champigny of great character, which really has its fans. The aromatic finesse of the old Cabernets, a serious structure and a proven aptitude for long ageing: in 2010, Fevettes 1990 once again made many people happy…
