history
In 1957, around forty winegrowers grouped together to confront the economic difficulties of the era, pooling far more than mere financial concerns. At the time, Robert, Marcel, Yvon, Geneviève and the others, hailing from the same terroir, hewn from the same rock and sharing the same time-honoured values, set up their cooperative at the top of the hill in Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg. “They chose to share their experience, their expertise and their dreams„ The Pond des Cadets range embodies the values of diversity, passion and generosity which are shared by the winegrowers
Vineyard
The Saumur vineyards cover over 800 hectares on the south bank of the Loire River The key feature of this area is its clay limestone soil: this soft, white stone, known as tufa, used to build the Loire Valley Castles, promotes good root development in the vines and ensures a moderate water supply.
Winemaking
The grapes are destemmed. Then light maceration on skins, followed by pneumatic pressing. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless vats. Early bottling. The wine continues is aged in our tufa cellars, protected from light and temperature variations.
Tasting notes
Pale yellow colour with brilliant highlights. Delightful and expressive nose marrying citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and tropical fruit aromas. Lively attack leading into a full and rich palate showing freshness. Intense, citrus-driven finish.
Food pairing
It is an ideal partner for seafood, grilled fishes, white meats, typical cheeses from the Loire region (Valençay, Saint Maure de Touraine).
