Saumur Champigny Outre Terre-Amphore Domaine Des Roches Neuves Saumur Champigny, 2023

Saumur Champigny Outre Terre-Amphore is a distinctive Loire red from Domaine des Roches Neuves, crafted to showcase Cabernet Franc with clarity, freshness, and a more textured, earthy profile. The use of amphora gives the wine a subtle, artisanal edge, adding historical resonance to an appellation long valued for elegant, terroir-driven reds.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2023 Saumur Champigny typically shows a bright ruby color with a lively, youthful sheen. The nose leans toward red and dark berries, violets, dried herbs, and a touch of earthy spice, with the amphora élevage adding a restrained, pure-fruited character rather than overt oak influence. On the palate, expect a supple yet structured Cabernet Franc with свеж freshness, fine tannins, and a mineral, slightly savory finish. It should drink beautifully in its youth for its vibrancy, while also having the balance to evolve gracefully over the next several years as the fruit softens and the tertiary notes become more pronounced.

Production
Sourced from Loire terroirs well suited to Cabernet Franc, the wine reflects Saumur Champigny’s chalky, limestone-influenced soils and the cooler climate that helps preserve aromatic lift and natural acidity. The fruit is handled with care and vinified in amphora, a vessel chosen to emphasize texture and purity while allowing gentle oxygen exchange without the imprint of new oak.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs especially well with roast chicken, grilled duck breast, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, lentils, and herb-roasted vegetables. Serve slightly chilled at around 15–17°C, and consider a short decant if drinking young to open up the aromatics and soften the tannins.
