Location
The Puy Notre Dame, 20 km south of Saumur, is the highest point in the region. The Saumur Puy Notre Dame appellation area is the result of a very strict delimitation and extends over 17 communes, but, is mostly located on the communes of Puy Notre Dame, Vaudelnay and Brossay. It is based on the ability of these terroirs to produce great ageing wines, on the particularly dry climate, and on the history and tradition of the local winegrowers. The vines are planted at an average altitude of 80 m, which means they have always been protected from spring frosts. The Mauges Massif, 40 km to the west, stops much of the rainfall, ensuring that the Cabernet Franc grapes, harvested in October, ripen healthily and are particularly well-suited to producing fine, long-keeping wines
