2021 Saumur-Champigny, Les Closiers, Domaine des Closiers, Loire

Description

What struck us about this wine was the freshness and exuberance of black fruits. The wine sang of Black Forest Gateaux and had a fantastic crunchy finish. Indeed, it is a wine to enjoy immediately or approach in a couple of years. Beautiful!

Critics reviews

Tamlyn Currin 16.5/20

Sweet but needle-sharp red fruit, sour-cream, raspberry-vinegar tang, and cranberries in red-plum skins—masses of vigour and attitude in this wild-mint and molle-leaf fragrant wine. The tannins feel and almost seem to taste inky. I love the rustle, snap and crackle of this wine. It’s the kind of wine you want in your glass when you start cooking a big meal for a crowd of people – every sip is energy-giving.

Drink 2024 - 2028

About this wine

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is widely planted in Bordeaux and is the most important black grape grown in the Loire. In the Médoc, it may constitute up to 15% of a typical vineyard – it is always blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and is used to add bouquet and complexity to the wines. It is more widely used in St Émilion, where it adapts well to the cooler and moister clay soils.

Saumur-Champigny

Saumur-Champigny

Saumur-Champigny is an Anjou-Saumur appellation noted for the uncomplicated, fruit-forward character of its Cabernet Franc red wines grown on the sand over chalky tuffeau soils. The wines are aged predominantly in old oak or inert vessels to give a good-value, early-drinking style. Château du Hureau is a consistently good source.

Domaine des Closiers

Located in Parnay, at the heart of Saumur-Champigny, Domaine des Closiers has just gone through one of the most exciting rebirths in the region. Leaving a lifetime of consultancy behind him, Anatole de la Brosse decided to make a U-turn in his career and strive to become the best winemaker he could possibly be. This brought him to acquire Domaine des Closiers in 2019.
