As greedy and seductive as the Saumur cuvée, the Saumur Champigny 17 is a little more round and a little less green. Great drinking. The charm of Loire wines.
Aussi gourmand et séduisant que la cuvée Saumur, le Saumur Champigny-sur-Marne est un peu plus rond, et un peu moins vert. Grande buvabilité. Le charme des vins de Loire . — 5 years ago

Lemon citrus notes along with floral and melon. Strong pale yellow and easy drinking. — 5 years ago
Peaches and more peaches, with a bit of lime zest and a hint of vanilla. Slightly creamy, juicy texture with few of the herbaceous qualities a skin contact white usually has, but that brings the fruity purity even more into relief. Very unusual and wonder wine. — 6 years ago

Citron citron vert, frais et rond. — 4 years ago
Simple, light, but full of charm. Clear purple dress, beautiful shine. Nose typical of the cabernets-francs de Loire. Raspberry, geranium, violet, blackwood, green pepper (but not too much). The mouth is fresh and tense, with a beautiful mineral weft reminiscent of rifle stone, slate or chalk. Served at 15 degrees, it’s a nice treat.
Saumur simple, léger, mais plein de charme. Robe pourpre limpide, bel éclat. Nez typique des cabernets-francs de Loire. Framboise, géranium, violette, bois de ronce, poivron vert (mais pas trop). La bouche est fraîche et tendue, avec une belle trame minérale évoquant la pierre à fusil, ardoise ou craie. Servi à 15 degrés c’est une belle gourmandise. — 5 years ago


Oaky smell, bright middle, smooth finish — 5 years ago
Red cherry, blackberry, blurberry on the nose with immediate earthy and spices. Didn’t pick floral aromas. Beautiful on the palate with tartness followed by mid-palate tannins and long finish with earth, bacon, leather, thyme, rosemary and peppery finish. This was fun! Well balanced and serious wine. Decanted for 2.5 hrs and it was still opening up in the glass. — 6 years ago
