GROWER OVERVIEW

Based in Saumur Puy-Notre-Dame, a new focal point for colder climate Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, the enthusiastic and charming Frédéric Hauss enters the wine world as a former cinematographer who worked extensively behind the camera for the big screen and TV. In his early forties, and in the middle of the Covid pandemic, he decided to redirect into this equally artistic life that provides a greater connection to nature. Some are quick to understand fundamentals (perhaps those who already mastered them in another craft are advantaged), and it’s clear that Fréd also understands artistic composition, and already how to craft a wine to capture emotion, discreetly.

VINEYARD DETAILS

Les Infiltrés “Raging Bulles” comes from a 0.3 ha plot planted in 1962 at 70m facing north-south on a gentle hill of on Jurassic limestone bedrock with a shallow silty clay topsoil.
