Cellars and estates

The wine cellars and estates of the Pays Loudunais cultivate wine as they cultivate conviviality: with care, patience and a real taste for sharing. Between Poitou, Anjou and Touraine, the winding roads lead to discreet cellars and family-run estates where the welcome is as warm as the reflections in a glass of Saumur.

There are no queues or timed visits here. We take our time. The winegrowers open their doors, talk about their work and invite visitors to taste their wines with the same simplicity as if they were inviting friends. They talk about grape varieties, vintages and terroir, but above all about pleasure and passion. Each estate has its own personality, its own history, its own favourite corner of the vineyard.

Between two tastings, the landscape does its bit: your walk takes you between gentle hills, villages of pale stone, changing light on the rows of vines . .. Everything makes you want to stop, breathe, raise a glass and toast to the good life.

Whether you’re a discerning palate or a curious visitor, you’re in for an authentic experience: a smile, a glass, a conversation that goes on and on… Here, the region’s AOP Saumur wines express all their finesse. Red, white, rosé or fine bubbles… They’re all a reminder that the local know-how is well worth a visit for the pleasure of being surprised.

In this discreet corner of France, full of character, discovering a wine always means meeting someone. A good bottle, a great encounter… That’s the spirit of the Pays Loudunais!
