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.
