La Cave des Marchands in central Saumur pours the canonical Saumur-Champigny producers (Filliatreau, Roches Neuves, Sanzay) by the glass alongside the local Saumur Brut sparkling. The cellar is in a tuffeau cave at the back of the bar, visible from the seating area.
The list: Saumur and middle-Loire focus; 250 bottles, 20 by-the-glass; Saumur-Champigny verticals nightly
Tip: Ask for the Saumur-Champigny by-the-glass flight; the rotation captures three different growers across the same vintage for a textbook horizontal tasting.
