The Saumur Rouge is produced from the “Pierre Frite” vineyard on the western edge of the Saumur appellation. It is produced from Cabernet Franc that is grown in siliceous-limestone soils. The grapes are de-stemmed and then fermented in stainless steel vats. The maceration lasts about ten days and the fermentation temperature is controlled. The objective is to produce an expressive wine not encumbered by dry tannins and bitterness.

***

Domaine du Pas Saint Martin is a small family domain located near the town of Saumur in the Loire. It is set among troglodyte caves formed out of ancient fossilized marine life that covered the Saumur region 10 million years ago. During the religious wars of the Middle Ages these caves served as secret places of worship.

Today, Laurent Charrier runs the domain which is a certified organic farm. Laurent’s father was not interested in producing wine and thus in 1994 when Laurent took over the responsibility of the domain, with the help of his mother, he picked up where his grandfather had left off. He immediately set out to acquire certification for organic farming which he received in 1997. The family’s vineyards are primarily in the appellation of Saumur with additional small holdings in Anjou and Coteaux du Layon. The average age of the vines is 30 years with certain parcels being considerably older.
