Who produces L'imago Domaine Filliatreau Saumur AOP 2023?

Domaine Filliatreau is a wine estate in the Loire Valley, located in Chaintres in the commune of Dampierre-sur-Loire, long recognized for its work with Cabernet Franc and its roots in the Saumur-Champigny appellation. With this L'Imago cuvée in Saumur AOP white, the estate offers an expression of the region's second major grape variety: Chenin.

On what terroir is L'imago Domaine Filliatreau Saumur AOP 2023 produced?

The Saumur AOP appellation extends across the slopes of the Loire Valley, dominated by limestone soils, often composed of tuffeau, a rock characteristic of the Anjou-Saumur region. The climate is temperate oceanic, with a moderating influence from the nearby Loire River. For white wines, the appellation requires Chenin as the main grape variety, which precisely expresses the limestone nature of the soils and produces wines with a mineral character and good acidity.

At what temperature should L'imago Domaine Filliatreau Saumur AOP 2023 be served?

Saumur white wines are traditionally served between 10 and 12°C, in a classic white wine glass. The appellation produces wines capable of aging favorably for several years, between 3 and 8 years depending on the cuvée, as Chenin is a grape variety well suited to aging thanks to its natural acidity.

What dishes pair with L'imago Domaine Filliatreau Saumur AOP 2023?

Saumur whites traditionally pair with river fish, seafood, fresh goat cheeses typical of the Loire Valley, as well as poultry in a light sauce.
