Description
What struck us about this wine was the freshness and exuberance of black fruits. The wine sang of Black Forest Gateaux and had a fantastic crunchy finish. Indeed, it is a wine to enjoy immediately or approach in a couple of years. Beautiful!

Critics reviews
Tamlyn Currin 16.5/20
Sweet but needle-sharp red fruit, sour-cream, raspberry-vinegar tang, and cranberries in red-plum skins—masses of vigour and attitude in this wild-mint and molle-leaf fragrant wine. The tannins feel and almost seem to taste inky. I love the rustle, snap and crackle of this wine. It’s the kind of wine you want in your glass when you start cooking a big meal for a crowd of people – every sip is energy-giving.

About this wine
Saumur-Champigny
Saumur-Champigny is an Anjou-Saumur appellation noted for the uncomplicated, fruit-forward character of its Cabernet Franc red wines grown on the sand over chalky tuffeau soils. The wines are aged predominantly in old oak or inert vessels to give a good-value, early-drinking style. Château du Hureau is a consistently good source.
