Domaine de Fiervaux Les Écobues Chenin Saumur Blanc

The Domaine de Fiervaux was born from a family farm established in Saumurois with 4ha of vines, and taken over in 1890 by Henri Maitreau. 40 years later, his son Jules succeeded him, constantly improving the vineyard. In 1960, Georges Cousin and his wife Juliette Maitreau, daughter of Jules, took over the reins and developed the estate, hence the origin of the name Cousin-Maitreau, developing the vineyard from 8 ha to 28 ha with the planting of several grape varieties in order to create a wide range.

NOSE
The nose expresses an olfactory profile of unmistakable territorial origin, all played on citrus notes, grapefruit and lemon, and mentholated hints followed by scents of chamomile, hay and white peach.

Fermented in concrete tanks, where a short aging of a few months also continues.

PAIRING
Throughout the meal, this Saumur Blanc is enhanced with simple and fresh fish-based dishes, such as tuna tartare, sushi, sashimi, smoked trout and oysters.
