Presentation of the Manoir de la Tête Rouge – “Tête d’Ange” Saumur Blanc

“Tête d’Ange” is a 100% Chenin organic wine . This AOC Saumure wine is perfect for your aperitifs and seafood platters. Its color is straw yellow with green highlights. On the nose, the bouquet is floral, with citrus notes. On the palate we appreciate a round wine due to Chenin. Notes of white flowers combine with touches of citrus. The attack is frank. Very good value for money

History of the estate

Funny name for a winery. The Manoir de la Tête Rouge is located on the hill of Puy de Notre-Dame in the Loire. The building was built in 1649, and it was bought by the winegrower in 1995. The surrounding 10 hectares of vines are planted on the best clay-limestone terroirs in the Saumure region. Since 1998, the estate has been working in organic farming. And since 2010 the vines have been cultivated biodynamically. Le Manoir à la Tête Rouge offers us vintages with unique character and intense taste. Loire wine lovers, taste one of their white or red brines , or why not their Pineau d’Aunis .
