Description
Historically the first Saumur Blanc Wine of the estate, “La Dame” is a great seductress! This elegant and generous white Loire wine reminds us how much the Chenin grape thrives on the Parnay terroir. It will brighten up your aperitifs, your fish in sauce and your subtly spiced dishes with its distinction, its nobility… and its delicacy!

Grape variety
Location
Terroir
In this cradle of the Chenin that is the Val de Loire, the vines of La Dame grow on a soil of clayey sand on limestone bedrock from the Cretaceous period. This limestone is the famous tufa, emblematic of the region, which gives our white wines all their freshness.
Vine management and harvesting
Vinification and maturing
Storage
La Dame will age with nobility for up to 20 years in a good cellar.
Sensory discovery
Appearance
La Dame has a nice shiny appearance, with a pale-yellow colour and golden glints.
Bouquet
It exhales complex aromas that combine white flower, citrus and tropical fruit fragrances with discreet notes of honey and quince.
Palate
Its round, silky and intense palate will delight wine lovers of the genre ... An exceptional wine, La Dame offers a supple attack, fleshy consistency, and ample volume with aromas of exotic fruits with a hint of vanilla that linger in a long, rich, and elegant finish.
Wine and food pairing advice from the winegrower
Excellent as an aperitif, La Dame will go wonderfully with fish and shellfish in sauce, white asparagus, chanterelles in cream sauce, exotic and delicately spiced dishes (curry, ginger…). For the cheese platter, choose blue-veined or goat’s cheese.
Serve chilled, between 12 and 14° C.
