Producer: Eleventh generation vigneron René-Noël Legrand is now preparing to pass the baton to his daughter, Clothide, in 2013. Together, they farm 14 hectares of Cabernet Franc and one hectare of Chenin Blanc planted along gentle slopes and hillsides of Saumur, Dampierre, Chacé, Varrains and Champigny. Theirs is some of the best terroir of Saumur. Their vines average roughly 45 years of age, with the oldest vineyards planted in 1927.
