In the heart of the Loire Valley, Philippe VATAN, Yann LELIAS and Mickaël Mandote welcome you to the Château du Hureau wine estate and offer you wines from Saumur Champigny, Saumur Blanc and Coteaux de Saumur, all ranked among the best of their respective appellations.
As its name suggests, Dampierre sur Loire was first known for the extraction of its tufa. Here, all the cellars have been dug by man, the first more than a millennium ago, and our cellar is only a very small part of a gigantic underground network.
By digging the tufa, our ancestors killed two birds with one stone: they sold or used the cut stones, and at the same time created a habitat and shelter for livestock and crops, including, of course, wine.

Description

Vinified separately since 1989, this cuvée comes from our oldest Cabernet Franc vineyard: planted in 1943, its old vines deserve some respect! Still in very good health, they continue, vintage after vintage, to give us bottles of a Saumur Champigny of great character, which really has its fans. The aromatic finesse of the old Cabernets, the serious structure, and the proven aptitude for long-term ageing: in 2010, the 1990 Févettes once again made many people happy…
Tillage, no weedkillers or chemicals, in organic farming (Ecocert).
