Chateau de Villeneuve Saumur-Champigny 2021

Cabernet France from the Loire Valley

The Saumur-Champigny is made from 100% Cabernet Franc from vines 35-40 years old grown in clay-limestone soils. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and concrete and aged in a mix of large oak barrels, cement and steel. In the glass the wine shows a vivid ruby color with purple highlights. The nose is intoxicating with pristine aromas of red berries, capsicum, tomato leaf and earth. The palate is energetic with a stony minerality to compliment the complex mix of fruit flavors alongside medium-fine grain tannins and refreshing acidity. The finish is invigorating, leaving you reaching for the glass after each sip. Enjoy with grilled sausages, stuffed peppers or roasted pork.
