SAUMUR BLANC AOP CHEMIN DU MURS CHATEAU DE PARNAY

16,40  incl. VAT

Château de Parnay covers 35 hectares. Farmed organically, the vineyard is made up of four blocks of plots, all located on exceptional clay-limestone soil. Château de Parnay is a flagship estate in the Saumur Champigny AOC. The property is located on the banks of the Loire, a UNESCO World Heritage site. In 2006, Regis Vincenot and Mathias Levron acquired this esteemed property and transformed it into a jewel of the Loire Valley, as well as obtaining organic certification in 2013.
Mathias’ philosophy is: “Good grapes make good wine. We have focused on the organic winemaking process and sustainable agriculture. To achieve our goals, we have to keep a close eye on our vines and make a careful and precise selection of our plants”.

Description

The serene yellow colour, with delicate golden hues, is luminous and crystalline. It reflects the purity of hand-picked, ripe Chenin grapes. On the nose, the complexity of the grape variety is revealed, with aromas of very ripe white and yellow fruit (apricots, peaches, quinces and mirabelle plums), a hint of oak from its fermentation and ageing in barrels and a hint of butterscotch.

The attack on the palate is marvellous: round, enveloping… just like the very ripe apricot and peach, but a lovely freshness provides a very invigorating structural dynamic for noble pairings with fish and shellfish.

Food & wine pairing: With raw fish, but also grilled fish, shellfish (langoustines, lobsters) and hard cheeses (Comté, Mimolette, etc.). This wine will delight you when served with fine regional cuisine or cocktails.
On its own, as an aperitif with appetisers, cassolette of scallops with Noilly, lamb brains, poached pike-perch with beurre blanc, matured cow’s and goat’s cheese tome, etc.
