“A real treat with a velvety texture!”

Côte & Franc (formerly Le Page) is a Saumur Champigny that undergoes a longer aging process—18 months instead of 9. This light, fruity cuvée offers a pleasant freshness. With its harmonious, velvety texture, it’s a delightful treat.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

A dedicated winemaker, Philippe Porché has converted his 16 hectares in the clay-limestone terroir of Parnay to organic farming, on a hillside where rainfall is among the lowest in the region. With each vintage, the estate continues to improve: the reds range from supple on the palate (the Le Page cuvée) to deeper, more refined tannins (Le Prince and Le Roy). The whites range from the smooth La Jouvencelle to the finely crafted Clos de la Thibaudière, with its well-located vineyard plot on the hill of Brézé. The perfect place to treat yourself.
