2018 Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux, Domaine des Sanzay

Les Poyeux is a warm, limestone-rich, south-west facing vineyard, with vines averaging 40 years in age. 100% Cabernet Franc, made entirely in concrete tank, this is a wine of power, purity and finesse. Mid ruby-purple colour, aromas are expressive, recalling ripe cassis, redcurrant and fresh cherries. Palate is full bodied, with beautiful silky texture, excellent middle palate concentration and a fine tannic structure. This is an elegant wine, with a great length (for drinking 2020-2023+).
