The brilliance of Chenin Blanc from exceptional terroir
- Cultivated on clay-rich soils, this Saumur Blanc reveals the distinctive complexity and minerality characteristic of its terroir. The clay subsoil imparts a subtle structure and depth that elevates the wine beyond the merely refreshing.
- Château du Hureau's expertise in Chenin Blanc vinification ensures a pure, elegant expression of the variety—neither over-oaked nor manipulated, but true to its origin and vintage character.
- A versatile wine for the table: excellent as an aperitif, and particularly suited to shellfish, white fish, and lighter seafood preparations. Its freshness and balance make it a natural choice for warm weather entertaining.

Breeding
Carefully aged to refine the wine's aromas and structure whilst preserving its natural freshness
On the eye
Pale yellow with bright, luminous clarity. A wine of evident freshness and vitality in the glass.
On the nose
Delicate aromas of green apple and quince, with subtle floral notes of linden blossom and a distinctive mineral undertone. The bouquet is restrained and refined, developing with air.
In the mouth
A rich palate offering white stone fruits, white flowers, and a gently citric finish. The wine displays good acidity and length, with the clay terroir evident in its mineral grip and elegant structure.
A wine of considerable finesse. The Saumur Blanc from clay soils represents Chenin Blanc at its most sophisticated—neither heavy nor austere, but balanced and characterful. For those seeking authentic Loire expression, this is precisely the sort of wine that rewards a proper glass and a moment's attention. Ideal for collectors of the region's finest dry whites.

CHATEAU DU HUREAU
Set on the south-east-facing slopes of Dampierre-sur-Loire, Château du Hureau farms 20 hectares of classic tuffeau soils within the Saumur-Champigny appellation, certified organic since 2011. Philippe and Agathe Vatan have shaped the estate since 1987, drawing precise, mineral-driven wines from Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc, aged in a troglodyte cellar hewn from the rock in the twelfth century. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the integrity of its organic commitment and for wines that speak honestly of the Loire's chalky limestone terroir. A benchmark address on the south bank.
