Chateau De La Duraniere Saumur Brut

Grounded in history near the picturesque village of Montreuil-Bellay, Château de la Durandière is a magnificent 14th-century estate where third-generation independent winemaker Antoine Bodet carries on a proud family heritage. Certified sustainable since 2007, the estate’s 40 hectares are farmed with deep reverence for the land, seamlessly marrying time-honored artisanal tradition with thoughtful modern techniques. Surrounded by ancient stone walls and dense nearby forest, the vineyards thrive atop the region’s rare, shallow Bathonian limestone and sandy topsoils. This distinctive, well-draining terroir imparts an undeniable vitality and refined elegance to every bottle coming out of their historic cellars.

Tasting Notes: Pure Loire Precision
Crafted according to traditional method standards, Château de la Durandière Saumur Brut delivers a fine, persistent stream of bubbles and a luminous pale straw color. The nose opens with an inviting array of fresh orchard fruit—golden apple, ripe peach, and pear—blended with delicate accents of white blossom and honeysuckle. Extended lees aging introduces subtle notes of warm toast and hazelnut, adding compelling complexity. On the palate, crisp acidity drives a core of bright citrus and white stone fruit, balanced by a gentle, creamy mousse and a distinct stony mineral line. Brilliant, fresh, and exceptionally balanced, it concludes with a clean, vibrant finish that makes a convincing case for the elegance of Loire sparkling wine.
