Fabien Duveau

Saumur Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc from the Loire's slate-rich heart.

Fabien Duveau works in Saumur, the heart of the Middle Loire, where cool-climate conditions and slate-rich soils shape distinctive wines from local varieties. The winery's Cabernet de Saumur, made from Cabernet Franc, demonstrates the grape's mineral precision and structure in this region—a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. The Saumur-Champigny, also Cabernet Franc-based, reflects the appellation's reputation for elegant, age-worthy reds with natural acidity and subtle tannins. A Saumur Chenin Blanc rounds the portfolio, capturing the Loire's mastery of this varietal: aromatic, textured, and capable of balancing richness with the region's signature freshness. These wines anchor a practice rooted in the terroir of the Middle Loire.
