"Le Facteur" wine is crafted from a skillful blend of Chenin Blanc and Sémillon grapes, grown in clay-limestone soils, which impart a beautiful minerality. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested, preserving the full quality of the fruit. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, enhancing the wine's authenticity. Aging in stainless steel tanks helps retain the wine's freshness and fruity character, making it particularly enjoyable and approachable.

Domaine du Facteur
At Frantz Saumon, Chenin Blanc takes many forms: sparkling, dry and straightforward, and more enveloping cuvées depending on the vintage. The work in Montlouis and Vouvray is based on respectful viticulture and gentle pressing, resulting in luminous juices. The estate focuses on clear, uncluttered aromatics combined with a supple texture. The wines often gain verticality with a few months of aging, while retaining precise fruit character. The overall impression is one of rigorous simplicity that defines great handcrafted Chenin Blancs.
