Really a very nice Corsican red. I believe the grape is the local version of Sangiovese. Has some very different purple flowers and herbal notes, but still the great tension and acid. Delicious and interesting. — 9 months ago

Wow! This is a stunning expression of Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc, elegant, precise, and deeply evocative of its terroir.

From the first pour during decanting, it reveals a beautifully perfumed nose of ripe red berries, violets, graphite, and a subtle earthy undertone that really overwhelms me.

On the palate, the wine is both refined and vibrant. Silky tannins frame layers of red cherry, blackcurrant, and crushed herbs, all wrapped in a fine mineral tension that gives the wine energy and length. There’s a quiet power to this vintage it’s structured, but never heavy, so i called it a Delicate Thursday Wine.

Showing a graceful evolution over a decade in the glass.

2015 was a warm vintage, and Sanzay has balanced ripeness with freshness masterfully. This is a wine that speaks of place, crafted with sensitivity and finesse.

My advice: decant it now for a beautiful experience, or cellar it with confidence it has many years of life ahead.

Overall for me this is a compelling, soulful Cabernet Franc that combines purity with poise. A wine that’s can hold it’s ground served blind with the great wine from this region, and must-try for Loire lovers. — a month ago

2015 is showing wonderfully. Youthful reduction, concentrated and textural palette with both richness and definition and racy acids driving everything home. In a wonderful spot, but if this particular bottle is any indication, this is still young. Last sips were the best! — 7 months ago

Stands up to salmon burgers, fresh whole crab and even seven-layer dip. Worth a try! — 10 months ago

2024/7/12-14. I’ve really missed drinking Jobard’s wines. Opening with toasty lemon tart, this reveals a wide, spicy bouquet and a remarkably savory, saline mineral palate. — 10 months ago
