Sanzay Saumur-Champigny 2021

The reds coming out of the central Loire are irresistibly good these days – the best match juicy ripeness with a precision and freshness. Our source here is Domaine des Sanzay, an organic grower making delicious, affordable, beautifully crafted wines.

The 2021 base cuvée is a return to the classic expression — delicate red fruit, excellent freshness, and perfectly extracted middle-weight tannin. The fruits are dark and pretty, with violets and cassis; the mouth is crackling and fresh with excellent density and a cool finish.
