Located in Varrains, in the heart of the Saumur-Champigny appellation, Domaine Antoine Sanzay has become, in just a few vintages, a leading name in the Loire Valley wine region. Heir to a family heritage passed down through generations, Antoine Sanzay cultivates his vines organically, on the highest quality limestone and clay-limestone soils in the area. A sensitive and demanding winemaker, he makes it a point of honor to accurately express the identity of the Cabernet Franc grape and the finesse of the local tuffeau limestone. The 2020 La Paterne cuvée perfectly embodies this philosophy: a vibrant, precise wine with a singular character, born from meticulous work both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
