Loire, Leo Charruau, Les Pouges, Aoc Saumur-champigny, Rouge
Parnay, not far from Saumur, harvest 2021. This will be the first vintage of Léo Charruau, back at the family estate after a few years in the Bordeaux region and full of ideas. He works 6.5 ha in organic farming. Listening to of his terroir and always curious about the wines of others, Léo's wines are as lively as possible, vinified in amphora, in 500 L barrels and in raw concrete tanks. For Léo, wine is know-how, a lot of passion and reflection, but also a little bit of a little magic, too.
