Chateau de Chaintres EXMuros Saumur Blanc Terre de Breze

“Ex muros” is Latin for “outside the walls”, referencing the fact that this Chenin Blanc comes not from the estate but from a neighboring 3-hectare parcel of 40–80 year old Chenin Blanc in the highly regarded terroir of Brézé, which the Chaintres team has leased and transitioned to organic & biodynamic viticulture (certified in 2020). The warm clay soils infused with an unique green limestone-chalk lend a richness to palate while remaining precise, seamless and balanced—an electricity straight out of the bottle that makes you sit up straight in your chair!
