Clotilde Legrand is the first female winemaker in a family lineage stretching back to the 17th century — she took over from her father René-Noël in 2014 and farms 16 hectares of Cabernet Franc in Varrains, the capital of Saumur-Champigny. The vines average 45 years old, the oldest plots dating to 1937, planted in tuffeau limestone across twenty parcels.
Les Lizières is the estate's entry-drinking cuvée — hand-harvested, naturally fermented, aged entirely in tank. 2023 was a demanding vintage in Anjou-Saumur, but the wine earned one star in the Guide Hachette des Vins 2026: Clotilde calls it "souple, frais et fruité" — soft, fresh, and built for the table.
PAIRINGS :
| Duck breast | morello cherry fruit and fine tannin echo a cherry gastrique; the classic Loire pairing |
| Roast lamb with herbs | fresh acidity cuts the fat; red fruit and herb notes complement without masking |
| Chèvre or fresh goat cheese | bright acidity and green herb notes mirror the tang of fresh goat's milk |
