Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a bright ruby colour with good clarity and a youthful edge. The nose typically leans toward red berries, violet, green pepper, and subtle earthy or graphite-like notes, all lifted by the variety’s natural freshness. On the palate, this should be medium-bodied and elegant, with juicy red fruit, fine acidity, and moderate tannins that give shape without heaviness. Cabernet Franc from Saumur is often known for its balance and drinkability in youth, though the best examples can gain added complexity with a few years in bottle.

Production
This wine comes from Saumur Puy-Notre-Dame in the Loire Valley, an area known for producing Cabernet Franc with structure and aromatic clarity. The terroir here is strongly influenced by limestone-rich soils and a cool Atlantic climate, which help preserve freshness and define the wine’s precise, mineral style. Specific details on harvesting and vinification are not provided, but the region commonly favors careful vineyard selection and gentle cellar work to protect the grape’s delicate aromatics.

Food & Serving
A versatile food wine, this Cabernet Franc pairs well with roast chicken, grilled lamb, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, and herb-driven cuisine. Serve it slightly cool, around 14–16°C, and consider a short decant if opened young to let the aromas unfold more fully.

Producer
