This Prestige Coteaux de Saumur derives from only one field, less than one hectare in size and named Les Beaugrands. The old Chenin Blanc vines grow on sand and clay soils made up of limestone which allow for long ripening and a dramatic complexity of flavour in the grapes.
The vineyards are harvested by hand to pick only optimum bunches and grapes. The grapes are then gently pressed and undergo a long, cool fermentation in stainless-steel vats. Ageing on the lees occurs for eight months with regular bâtonnage, before they blend and select the best vats prior to bottling.
Founded in 1885 upon the marriage of Edouard Langlois and Jeanne Chateau, Langlois-Chateau has been specialising in the wines of the Loire for more than 130 years. Today, alongside the production of its sparkling wines under the Appellation Crémant de Loire, the Langlois-Chateau winery also produces still wines from its own vineyards. In 1973, the majority share of the House was bought by the Bollinger Family who recognised the quality of Langlois-Chateau wines, which allowed significant investments within the vineyard and the cellar and shared knowledge within the estates of the Méthode Traditionnelle.
