Domaine du Pas Saint Martin is located in primarily in Saumur, Loire Valley; most of their vineyards are in Saumur, but they also have some in Anjou and Côteaux du Layon. Laurent Charrier took over the estate from his grandfather in 1994, and his first goal was the conversion of his family's estate to organic certification, which he achieved in 1997. The cellars of the domaine are set among a series of troglodyte caves formed out of ancient marine life. Laurent grows mainly Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, which he masterfully crafts into elegant expressions of his terroir. He is passionately committed to biodiversity in his vineyards and surrounding woods, and in 2009, along with local artisans, started "Le Monde de Pierre Frite", an interactive teaching program for children to raise awareness and understanding of this important topic. In 2012, the domaine received the Eco-Trophée from the Parc National Loire-Anjou-Touraine for his environmentally-friendly practices in all aspects of vineyard work, winemaking and promotion of environmental awareness.

Domaine du Pas Saint Martin's La Pierre Frite blanc is made from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the siliceous-limestone soils of Saumur. The wine goes through a natural settling (debourbage) which concentrates the flavors and enriches the wine through extended contact with the lees. There is no malolactic fermentation which results in a fresh, lively aromatic wine with a clean mouthfeel and zippy acidity. Enjoy this wine with turkey or roasted chicken.
