The Domaine des Closiers is located in Parnay, in the heart of the Saumur Champigny appellation. The closiers were the winemakers who worked in the vineyards and who lived in the cave dwellings at the foot of the hill. The estate covers 15 hectares on clay-limestone soil. The vines are 35 years old in middle age. About 95% of the vineyard is planted in Cabernet Franc to produce rich and fine wines in AOC Saumur Champigny. We also have a few plots of Chenin which are used to produce the AOC Saumur (white wine). To understand the typicity of our wines, you have to climb to the top of a limestone cliff overlooking the Loire. Placed on the hillside, the plots of the estate express all the richness and nobility of the terroir of Saumur Champigny. Our plots are among the most beautiful in the appellation. They are mainly grouped in the commune of Parnay and located on the hillside.
