The Domaine Antoine Sanzay vineyard is a true haven of biodiversity, where Cabernet Franc vines flourish in clay-limestone soils. These mineral-rich soils impart a unique character to the grapes while promoting optimal ripeness. The region's temperate climate, with its oceanic influences, allows for a beautiful expression of aromas and a perfect balance between acidity and structure. Environmentally friendly farming practices ensure that each bottle authentically reflects the Saumur terroir.

Owner and history

Antoine Sanzay, owner and passionate winemaker, has passed on his love of wine through generations. Drawing on his experience, he has modernized the estate while respecting winemaking traditions. His commitment to responsible and sustainable viticulture is reflected in every bottle produced. With a dedicated team, he works daily to showcase the terroir of Saumur Champigny, ensuring that each wine tells a story—a story of the land, the grape variety, and the passion behind it.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Domaine Antoine Sanzay is carried out with meticulous care. After hand-harvesting the grapes, they are destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for precise temperature control and the extraction of the Cabernet Franc's finest aromatic expressions. Aging on fine lees for several months adds complexity and roundness to the wine. Each step is carefully considered to preserve the freshness and authenticity of the aromas, resulting in a wine that is both approachable and full of character.
