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. — 6 days ago

Strong green pepper nose at first that goes away after a while. The pepper touch is on the palate too at first. After a while currant, earth on the nose. The palate is rich and ample with red berries, cherry, silky tannins and a long finish. — 7 years ago

本来なら休肝日にしようと思っていたのですが、ドジャースが敵地NYで優勝してしまったので飲まない訳にはいかなくなりました。お祝いです🎉。そんなことで以前購入したワイン見聞録の激安福袋から、通常価格税別でも4600円くらいもするらしいロワールの赤を選びました。自然派ということで、ビオも含めこの手には良い思いをしたことがなく多少不安もありましたが、結果かなりウマいです。セパージュはカベルネフラン、強い凝縮感ながら嫌味も青臭さもありません。香りはジャミーなものの味わいはイチジクやベリーの風味、タンニンは強くはないがしっかりとしてスムーズです。アフターの酸もよろしい。
安けりゃまた買いたい1本！

しかし明日からのオータニロスはどう過ごそう。⚾️🥹
