Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts only, refinement in steel and no addition of sulphites, nor clarification or filtration. A great match for seafood, grilled fish and summer salads.

Also as an aperitif, Saumur Champigny is a red wine that goes well with medium-aged cheeses, risottos and stuffed pasta, including vegetarian ones.

Cellar: Brendan Tracey

Brendan, a native of New Jersey, spent much of his youth in San Francisco, where his parents moved in the 1960s to follow hippie fashion. He thus comes into contact with the cultural revolution embodied by this city developing a passion for music, listening to psychedelic bands and later approaching punk musicians. Having a French mother, he often visits France and moves there at the age of 15, finishes his studies and returns to America where he joins various punk groups, enjoying some success. He moved permanently to France in 1980 and began working in small independent radios as well as continuing to play (also with Pascal Simonutti); in 2002 finally the encounter with wine thanks to his old friend Thierry Puzelat who will take care of his rigorous enological training. Collecting notions and teachings from all these illustrious friendships, he began producing in 2010, starting with only 2 hectares and reaching the current 5. His entirely natural style is based on maceration and carbonic fermentations that make his wines very lively and recognizable. As a 360 ° artist he also designs all the labels of his wines.
