Tasting group agreed that this was a textbook Saumur Champigny which may just not be my thing. Aroma fell somewhere between dank cellar and tepid pond with purple flowers, flat cherry cola and cocoa butter. Similar on the palate, with more generous red and blue fruit, cloves, herbs, earth and spice. A rustic wine (chalky tannins, light/med bodied, less defined structure than the baudry) that does best with food.
