"Tentation" 2023 is our "Prestige" white Saumur, certified Organic (FR-BIO-01) and High Environmental Value (HVE3). Why "Tentation"? Because we pair "Tentation" with its red Saumur counterpart : "Effusion".

In 2026, this cuvée was selected as a "Grand Vin" by Bettane + Desseauve, receiving a score of 91/100 (guide published in September), and won a Gold medal at the Grands Vins de France competition in Mâcon. A quintessential Chenin Blanc, harvested and meticulously hand-sorted, this Saumur white was crafted with honesty and precision following a meticulous selection process in the Domaine's "Les Garennes" plot. It was aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels, rigorously chosen for the exceptional finesse of their oak influence. The wine is brilliant, a crystalline yellow with golden highlights. The nose is elegant and expressive, blending floral notes with aromas of white and yellow fruits. Hints of tropical fruit, ripe citrus, and white currants are also present.

The aromatic profile is enhanced with lemony and lightly buttery toasty nuances. A persistent finish.
