Already established as the leading producer in the appellation with his eponymous family domaine, Fredrik Filliatreau took on a new challenge in 2005 with the neighbouring “Croix de Chaintres” vineyards. The idea here is to make just one wine, unoaked, screwcap-sealed, super-fresh and fruity. With crispy, crunchy fruit, silky tannins and the trademark lifted floral aromatics of Saumur-Champigny, this wine is delicious served slightly chilled, but is in no way frivolous…on the contrary, its attractive personality disguises quite considerable depth.
