Description

Notes of green bell pepper, spices, pepper, violet and dark wild berries introduce the 2021 Anjou Cabernet Franc, a moderately weighted, layered and tense wine that is seamless with fine-grained, powdery tannins and concludes with a long, penetrating finish despite some meaty notes.

Drink 2024 - 2028

About this wine

Savennières

Savennières

Savennières is a tiny white Anjou appellation (comprising Savennières, Savennières-Coulée-de-Serrant, and Savennières-Roche-aux-Moines) revered for its dry, full-bodied Chenin Blanc wines, grown on the ancient schistous/volcanic soils on the southern banks of the Loire. The best are hand-harvested by trie (often with a degree of noble rot), before being pressed and aged in oak barrels.
