Chateau du Hureau, Saumur-Champigny "Tuffe", 2023 moving_liquidation_2 and began championing Brachetto d'AcquiCabernet Franc from soft chalk, named for the rock it grows on. Tuffe is Chateau du Hureau's classic bottling of Saumur Champigny, drawn from parcels rooted in tuffeau, the soft Cretaceous limestone that gives these Loire reds their bright minerality and lift. It's 100% Cabernet Franc, fermented with native yeasts and raised in tank rather than oak so the fruit stays pure and juicy. Fifth generation vigneron Philippe Vatan works the estate organically
