Chateau de Chaintres Saumur Rose 'Les Hirondelles' 2024

Château de Chaintres is a 15-hectare estate established in 1675 by Oratorian monks of Notre Dame des Ardilliers. It is situated in the heart of Saumur-Champigny on soils of sand, clay, and tuffeau. In 2018, the estate converted to biodynamics (certified as of 2020), and dialed in their cellar work to attain new levels of minerality and precision. The estate’s phenomenal Saumur Rosé is pure Cabernet Franc, pressed directly, fermented spontaneously, and raised in stainless steel. “Les Hirondelles” is a tangy, vivacious, brazenly energetic wine that speaks clearly of both variety and terroir.
