Antoine Sanzay

Antoine Sanzay works the Middle Loire around Saumur, where cool-climate viticulture shapes two distinct expressions. The winery's Cabernet Franc—bottled as Saumur Champigny 'Les Poyeux'—captures the region's signature mineral tension and red-fruit precision in a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast. Alongside the Franc sits a pair of Chenin Blancs: 'Les Essarts' and 'Les Salles Martin,' both reflecting the Loire's mastery of this finicky white variety. Chenin from Saumur ranges from bone-dry to off-dry, with acidity that can age for decades. These three wines form the core of the portfolio—lean, structured, and rooted in slate and limestone soils that define the appellation.
