Well gosh...if this isn’t just lovely. This is exactly what I adore about Cab Franc from the Loire. The bouquet is a delight to behold with pretty red fruits and crushed gravel. Lots of texture here with fine tannins. I want more of this in my life.

From one of the appellation’s leading “terroirs”, a real unofficial “Grand Cru”(there is not yet an official list of “Grands Crus” for Saumur-Champigny). Our “Fours à Chaux” cuvee is one of our 3 special cuvées.
Here, the soil is sand with clay above the tuffeau. Due to the south east exposure and the light texture, the soil warms up easily and manages to give very ripe grapes whatever the vintage.
Age of the vines: from 20 to 50 years old
Aromatic complexity, elegance, light and round tannins are the signature of “Fours à Chaux”.

Loire cab franc. Smooth, medium weight, mild vegetal green bell pepper note on finish (not bad).

Molto buono. Fresca e fruity. Mia moglie piace anche. Magari che sia un po meno caro(sotto venti). Sarebbe meglio di trovare la volta dello sconto. Se vedi sotto venti, compra la botteglia.
