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.

On the nose this displays delicate crunchy red fruit with a soft, leafy note typical of Cabernet Franc. The mid-palate has lovely pure red fruit flavours moving to a good freshness on the finish. A great wine for food matching. Drink now to 2019. Pair with a plate of charcuterie, duck dishes or even red mullet.
