- Pale yellow in color, the nose offers up notes of citrus confit, pear and honey with an exotic edge. In the mouth, the wine seems initially warm and rich with dried fruit and nuts in abundance. These give way to a crisp structure with nice mineral notes and just a hint of sweetness on the back end.
- These are some of the greatest terroir in the region of Saumur in the Loire Valley that are rooted to the clay and limestone soils and tempered by Atlantic breezes, warmer winters and cooler summers.
- This estate comprises 14 hectares of Cabernet Franc and one hectare of Chenin Blanc planted along the gentle slopes and hillsides of Saumur, Dampierre, Chacé, Varrains and Champigny.
- Drink now, or keep for a couple more years.
- Enjoy with an asparagus and goats cheese tart.

Sustainability is very important to Clotilde, and she has put a lot of time and energy into ensuring her wines aren’t just delicious, but also good for the planet. Her ‘Lizieres’ Saumur rouge is a wonderful example of how this time and effort has paid off. Made from sustainably grown Cabernet Franc, this wine is bursting with black and red fruit, with a lovely crunchy texture.
