Domaine des Sanzay Les Poyeux 2022

Grape: Cabernet Franc
Vintage: 2022
Type: Red

While the most remarkable wine from this area is clearly Clos Rougeard, the young Ludovich Sanzay and his parents, Didier and Celine, are making some formidable wines. Farmed organically and vinified simply, from old vines of sandy & chalky soils in Saumur-Champigny. Dry Farmed, de-stemmed, and a 30 day maceration takes place, before a 10 month aging in concrete, creates this wonderful bottle that can be aged for a while. Nose of medium dark red purple fruit with subtle earth and minor herb notes. Ripe aromatics lead into a wine with nice grit, ripe tannins and a sensuous sweet middle. Medium weight, showing nice finesse and luscious cherry fruit.
