SAUMUR CHAMPIGNY AOP CUVEE DES AMANDES DOMAINE DES AMANDIERS
9,50 € incl. VAT
Located in the heart of the Saumur vineyards, our estate, run by Marc and Etienne Rideau, is in TURQUANT, a village of winegrowers, charm and arts and crafts, but also in the heart of the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Marc Rideau took over his grandfather’s vineyards in 1985, then another farm in 1993, and expanded the vineyard: 12 hectares spread over four communes, Montsoreau, Parnay, Souzay, Champigny and Turquant. His son Étienne joined him in 2015
