Vintage 2021 | Summer red? I love chilled Saumur Champigny. Paired with a deer hamburger. And cheeses.

Vintage 2021 | We once visited papa René Noél Legrand in Varrains; he showed modesty and determination as vintner. Clotilde makes a fine Saumur Champigny from ‘Les Liziéres’. No need to cellar long, it is a fine prove what Cabernet Franc can do. Purple reflection in colour and that joyful and vibrant cabfranc smell with raspberries and spicyness, nowhere bell pepper (showing some immaturity) and a supple elegant taste. Paired with a Cantonese dish: tenderloin with mango. Enjoyed this in the garden.

Vintage 2021 | Clothilde Legrand makes the Saumur Champigny that gives joy to visitors of Parisian brasseries and bistro’s. Yummie!!! Paired with mushroom ragout and parmigiano cookie

Same notes as before. Lovely wine, especially for price. Forgot to read my own notes... decant it if you want the true character to come out

Pretty classic Loire CF. On the nose, dark fruit, white pepper and dried rose hips. In the mouth, dark fruit, a bit of cracked pepper. Medium tannins, medium high acid. Long finish. Needed a good 2 hours to show well and have some classic CF character. Hold 2-5 years or 2-3 hr decant.
