Located along the Loire River on the most reputable clay and limestone terroir of Saumur-Champigny appellation, Château de Parnay has been producing outstanding wines for more than two centuries. Drawing their strength from the authenticity of their values, they now cultivate 50 hectares of vines with the aim of producing exceptional wines in a way that respects the environment. They have been certified organic since 2013 and are about to be certified biodynamic too.
The golden yellow tinge of this wine indicates that the Chenin is becoming fully ripe at the time of harvest. The nose is characterised by delicate and refined Chenin characters: linden, lemon grass, apricot, peach, and quince, followed by a citrus scent - a remarkable freshness derived from Saumur's clay limestone soil. The mouthfeel is round and reflects the nose's characteristics, indicating the consistency of this Loire varietal. Finally, we notice wonderful flavours of packed citrus fruits (such as grapefruit), emphasising the natural freshness of this dry white wine.
