Overview

Situated at the head of a small side valley of the Thouet, the commune of Courchamps is halfway between Saumur and Doué-en-Anjou. La Peyanne is a parcel of 5–25-year-old Chenin Blanc planted at a high point where the soils are thin, and the tuffeau bedrock is immediately below. The mineral tension of La Peyanne is deftly balanced with its generous orchard fruit expression, which is quite promising considering this is Theo’s debut terroir.
