Bottled in the commune of Varrains, this wine originates from the central Loire Valley, a region renowned for its historic Renaissance castles and for following the course of France's longest river.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaumur-Champigny is situated on the right bank of the Loire river, nestled between Anjou to the west and Touraine to the east. Granted AOC status in 1957, the appellation covers approximately 1,500 hectares of vineyards distributed across nine communes. The local climate is a transition between oceanic and continental, with the river helping to moderate temperature fluctuations. The vineyards are planted on characteristic tuffeau soils, a soft, white limestone typical of the area, along with clay and sand on the river terraces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is crafted from Cabernet Franc, a classic blue grape variety that is a staple of the Loire Valley, as well as regions like Bordeaux and California. Saumur-Champigny is notable for being one of the few Loire appellations dedicated exclusively to red wine production, and the area has also become known as a pioneer in organic and biodynamic viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Langlois Château","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57140675576134,"sku":null,"price":78.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-727_af656f43-513a-44cd-b358-42d721007eed.jpg?v=1786960122","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/saumur-champigny-langlois-chateau-2002","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
