Domaine des Hauts de Sanziers
Domaine des Hauts de Sanziers sits in Saumur, the heart of the Middle Loire Valley, where chalk-rich soils and temperate conditions shape distinctive white and red wines. The domaine works with Chenin Blanc, the region's signature white variety—mineral-driven and age-worthy—across two expressions: Coteaux de Saumur and Saumur Blanc. Both have drawn assessment from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. The Coteaux de Saumur, with its concentrated fruit and structure, represents the upper tier of the domaine's white production. For reds, Saumur Rouge showcases Cabernet Franc, the Loire's native dark grape, known for its bright acidity and herbal undertones. The wines reflect the terroir of Saumur: elegant, food-friendly, and built for the table rather than the cellar.
