2016 Saumur Champigny Tuffe, Château du Hureau

Château du Hureau’s vineyards lie on a deep, volcanic, tuffeau-limestone plateau overlooking the Loire: a site that combines great terroir with a favourable microclimate. 100% organic, the estate’s flagship ‘Tuffe’ cuvée was made entirely in stainless steel vats to preserve the wine’s crunchy, Cabernet Franc flavours. With a glistening ruby colour and gloriously lifted aromas, one is instantly charmed by this vivid Saumur-Champigny. The palate is medium bodied and packed with vital, red and black fruit flavours. With a fine, linear structure, the finish is pleasing, long and fresh.
