La Cave de L'illEstimated delivery between 26 and Dec 28,
Trained at the Lycée de Montreuil-Bellay, Antoine Sanzay took over his grandparents' vineyard at the Cave de Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg. Settled in 1999, he also delivered his entire harvest to the cooperative for three years, before setting about gradually vinifying the estate's vines (grass-covered and cultivated under the row). His potential is enviable, with 4 hectares in the Les Poyeux cru. "My grandfather was astonished to see his grandson recultivating his land, as he did before the war; I want to prove to him that he can trust me," he explains. The latest vintages offer greater precision in ageing and expression of fruit, and the white is proving to be one of the best of the new school of saumurois chenins. Domaine Antoine Sanzay's "Les Terres Rouges" parcel is planted with Cabernet Franc vines on a Turonian terroir of marly chalk, with a southern exposure that protects them from frost. The specificity of this cuvé lies in the fact that only 50% of the grapes are destemmed, while the remainder are vinified in whole bunches, restoring freshness and structure to the juice, accompanied by neutral ageing in concrete vats.
