A delightful, densely fruited but high toned and tart little charmer. Think Beaujolais that took a beach vacation. A match for BBQ or solo cups and a stroll around the neighborhood!

The cuvée “Sous le Tilleul” takes its name from the linden trees surrounding the vineyard. It is produced from Grolleau Noir, a centuries old grape type native to the Loire. The Grolleau is the first variety that Laurent harvests, usually with a potential alcohol of 11.5%. The grapes are fed into tanks as whole-clusters and fermented using the semi-carbonic method. The maceration lasts 5 to 6 days and the wine is a 50/50 blend of free run and press juice.

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.
