Saumur Champigny, Domaine La Seigneurie, Senonian 2023 (6bcase) 12.5% vol.
£96.00
Cabernet Franc
The centre of excellence and spiritual home of Cabernet Franc is the Loire Valley. Particularly around the Medieval towns of Saumur and Chinon. The French have known this for many years and consequently most of these red wines are drunk inside France – it is very unlikely that you will find a Bistro in Paris that does not have a Saumur Champigny on their wine list!
Our Saumur Champigny comes from Alban Foucher who is the last winemaker still based in the town itself! Delicious young, this is an elegant wine with soft, supple tannins that will age gracefully over the next 5 years or so. A brilliant ruby on the eye, with the classic Cabernet Franc nose of intense raspberry and redcurrant. Medium bodied and silky with complex notes of undergrowth and spice. Crisp lively acidity, nicely balanced with a rich red fruit laden finish.
An elegant wine that is good to drink on it’s own but also very versatile with many different foods – everything from pasta bakes to lamb chops and of course the classic steak and frites. Try drinking it slightly chilled as per the bistros of Paris when the weather is warm or when a lighter red wine is called for during lunchtimes. A real Jack of all Trades wine!
