Sanzay Saumur Champigny 2024

We find ourselves reaching for Loire reds often these days, whatever the occasion – they’re characterful, refreshing, complex and downright tasty.Our source for these delicious wines is the Domaine des Sanzay, a fifth generation organic domaine in Saumur-Champigny in the central Loire. Their unblended Cabernet Franc wines have become highly popular in our warehouse, opening tasters’ eyes to a new expression of the grape.

The 2024 Saumur Champigny is fresh, juicy and beautiful. The nose shows cranberry and spring flowers, and no oak (it’s fully raised in tank). The mouth is crackling and refreshing with a quick clean finish and low alcohol. This cuvée is always easy to like, but the 2024 is particularly lively and gulpable. Drink on its own, particularly in the springtime, or with a pizza.
