Description

2020 Saumur-Champigny, Les Coudraies, Domaine des Closiers, LoireTwenty percent of this wine was made in barrel this year, with the remainder in tank to preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit. There is a pronounced spicy character here, which Anatole de la Brosse says is typical of the vineyard. Beneath the spice is rich and perfumed fruit, which follows on the palate with pleasing generosity, caressing tannins and a fine, refreshing finish.

Richer on the palate but still with enough structure

The nose is fat and buttery

It is ultra-concentrated yet also notably austere at the moment

This is a charming and delightful example of everything I love about 2017 reds: pale ruby

The bouquet delivers blue flower

from the supposedly lowly Aligoté upwards

Still a baby

all wrapped in a powerful

A mineral and profound red blend

Drink 2024 - 2044

supplemented by grapes from their native Cramant

Drink 2021 - 2040
