Takes a little while to open up but blossoms beautifully with bruised dark berry fruit, forrest floor, unwashed beetroot, rich stony soils d damp geraniums.
Palate has a wonderful freshness to it without being too light weight or lacking in fruit concentration. Black berry fruit is riper than you’d think from the nose and there’s a lovely stony minerality on the mid palate and finish that also shows an attractive sappidity, fine tannins, ripe acidity gives it drive.
Very finely tuned cab franc. — 5 years ago
16/20 (89/100) Узнаваемый каберне фран. Аромат черешни, ежевики, чёрного перца и ментола. Довольно легкий и кислотный с мягкими танинами. Забродившие чёрные ягоды во вкусе. Симпатично. — 6 years ago
2016. Capsicum and chalk. Quite a hit of new oak that integrates with aeration. A big, structured wine for the vintage. Should have quite a long life. #châteaudebrézé #saumur #cabernetfranc — 7 years ago

Vintage 2019 | I know... infanticide, but I wanted to try this Chenin Blanc because I was curious. It would be no punishment only to smell this wine... so multi-layered: lime, white peach, pear, vague impression of honey, saline, very lovely and broad. The taste has a high acidity and lots of potential. Razorsharp. Very nice wine from old vines, in transition to bio. | Paired with with asparagus, egg and ham, the classic combination. — 5 years ago
Wow... this was outstanding. A floral bouquet + honeycomb + chalk left out in the rain... And I haven’t even got to the tingly, acidic grace note yet. A wonderful complement to grilled halibut with lemon and asparagus. — 6 years ago
Yeast! And creme brûlée. Maybe a bit too young right now? — 6 years ago

Perfect accessible cab franc for little money. Great wine. Very complex, firm but not assertive tannins, what more can you want? — 9 years ago
Really liking this. First time I opened it, tasted & smelled alive! Violets, smoke, black licorice. Black lava rocks. Clean & pure Saumur rouge. — 11 years ago
