Chateau du Hureau Saumur Blanc Argile 2024 web-published But that's the story behindArgile is Hureau's Chenin Blanc from chalky tuffeau soils, and chalk is the whole story here: it gives the wine its taut, mineral spine. Chateau du Hureau is among the top names in Saumur, run by fifth generation vigneron Philippe Vatan and his daughter Agathe, farming parcels around Dampierre sur Loire and Champigny. Argile is blended from a handful of parcels, fermented in tank and aged in a mix of tank and large wood. A serious, dry Loire white.
