Our « tuffe » cuvee, formerly called « grande cuvée » is the largest of our estate: roughly from 80000 to 100000 bottles each year. Coming from about 15 plots of young and old cabernet franc vines, « tuffe » is a blended cuvee coming from different soils : from « clos teuilly » near Saumur to « la maisonnette » in Souzay Champigny...The common point for all of them is the « tuffeau »-here, we often call it « tuffe », laying under from 50cm to a few meters deep. Differences in soil composition, in exposure, in vineyard age, this mosaic is typical of Saumur Champigny and this cuvee « Tuffe » aims to show the most charming side of the appellation. On a very serious basis of ripe cabernet franc grapes, it is just a wine that doesn't take itself too seriously! Tasty, fruity, and able to be a joyful companion for the entire meal or ever until the end of night...with moderation, of course!
