The exemplary cooperative Caves de Saumur rose to popularity by persistent attempts to set itself apart from other cooperative winemakers. Instead of the typical cooperatives that care for their vineyards haphazardly for high yields of subpar bulk wine, Caves de Saumur is a bustling hive of forty like-minded families who carefully tend their vines for quality wines that are expressive of both their varietal and their place, reflecting the terroir of which they are justifiably proud.
From Anjou to Touraine, Saumur is known for its Chenin Blanc whites and Cabernet Franc reds, giving the Caves de Saumur the opportunity to focus on two varietal wines that are incredibly distinctive and reflect their appellation. In some cases, these wines highlight particular vineyards that are rightfully distinguished.
These are the Lieu dit wines that focus on terroir from Saumur Blanc to Saumur Champigny that is particularly outstanding. Caves de Saumur stands head and miles above other cooperatives for creating wines that eloquently speak of Saumur as a region of deeply ingrained traditions due to their intimate approach to cultivation and purposeful respect for terroir.
