DOMAINE ANTOINE SANZAY
Based in Varrains at the heart of Saumur-Champigny, Domaine Antoine Sanzay farms 11 hectares of tuffeau and argilo-calcaire soils in the central Loire. From a winemaking family across seven generations, Antoine left the local cooperative in 1999, founded his independent estate in 2013, and achieved organic certification in 2014. His Cabernet Franc from the south-facing slopes of lieu-dit Les Poyeux delivers the taut, mineral character that defines the finest tuffeau terroirs. At Halles Quercamps, we selected this estate for the precision of its winemaking, its organic integrity, and the frank, true-to-type expression of its Saumur-Champigny reds — a reliable reference for Cabernet Franc from the Loire in its most honest form.
