Located in the heart of the Saumur appellation, Domaine du Moulin de l'Horizon covers approximately 30 hectares, situated around the Moulin de l'Horizon hill, one of the highest points in the Saumur region at around 110 meters altitude. This topographical position partially protects the vineyard from westerly winds and contributes to a microclimate favorable to the even ripening of the grapes.

The vineyard rests on clay-limestone and tuffeau soils, which retain winter rainfall and ensure a gradual water supply throughout the season. This geological context contributes to the production of wines with supple balance and expressive fruit. The grape varieties are dominated by Cabernet Franc (approximately 50%), complemented by Chenin Blanc (30%) and Chardonnay (20%), allowing for the production of wines in all three colors.

The estate was founded in 2002 by Hervé and Christine, who come from an agricultural background in northern France, initially focused on arable farming and livestock breeding. This shift towards viticulture was accompanied by a gradual learning process and a lasting connection to the Saumur region.

A significant portion of the estate's work is dedicated to sparkling wines. The bubbles are produced entirely on-site, with a second fermentation in the bottle carried out in the estate's cellars. This complete control of the process allows for the creation of precise and consistent cuvées, based on Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay grapes.

The wines of Domaine du Moulin de l'Horizon are characterized by their approachable and balanced profiles, where fruit, freshness, and controlled ripeness are consistent hallmarks. The estate thus offers a coherent and accessible expression of the Saumur appellation, attentive to the natural conditions of the site and to controlled winemaking.
