Opting for a lighter wine, more often than not, will result in you getting something fruity and delicate. This Saumur-Champigny bucks that trend. Lighter body? Yes. Compromising on robust and serious flavour? Not on your nelly. A serious, sophisticated and very adult wine, with balanced tannins and savoury notes.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby color with aromas of ripe red berries, subtle earthy notes, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, delivering flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and a touch of pepper. Citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, along with stone fruits like apple, pear, and peach, are complemented by floral notes, pizza dough, toasted brioche, and almonds, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
About the winemaker
The Morin family have been winemakers for four generations. Based in the heart of the Layon hillsides, they produce a dozen wines from three main sites. They modestly put their success down to the sheer generosity of the soils around Anjou, but they certainly know how to make the most of them. By front-loading the process basically doing much of the winemaking process in the fields and then taking their time where possible when fermenting, they create wines more expressive and sophisticated than a mime in a tuxedo.
