That deeper soil gives a more austere, horizontal profile than his Chapaudaises. Brézé is not typical Saumur: the vineyards sit higher than the surrounding land, directly on a hill of tuffeau, a porous chalky limestone mixed with clay and sand, and around 70 per cent of the slope has less than a metre of topsoil, so vines of any age must root into bedrock. Even in ripe years the wines stay cool and fresh. Stater-West sorted hard to reduce yields further, aged the wine on fine lees for 12 months in barrel, mostly second and third use, then six months in stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking now and worth ten years. Serve at 10-12°C with roast chicken, seared scallops or a washed-rind cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
