Chateau du Hureau Fours à Chaux

From one of the appellation’s leading “terroirs”, a real unofficial “Grand Cru”(there is not yet an official list of “Grands Crus” for Saumur-Champigny). Our “Fours à Chaux” cuvee is one of our 3 special cuvées.
Here, the soil is sand with clay above the tuffeau. Due to the south east exposure and the light texture, the soil warms up easily and manages to give very ripe grapes whatever the vintage.
Age of the vines: from 20 to 50 years old
Aromatic complexity, elegance, light and round tannins are the signature of “Fours à Chaux”.
