Chateau de Villeneuve Saumur Champigny 2022

$2399

Loire Valley Cabernet Franc from 35–40-year-old vines on clay-limestone in the shadow of a 15th-century church steeple. Château de Villeneuve in Souzay-Champigny is one of Saumur's most respected addresses for both Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Fermented in stainless steel and concrete, aged in a mix of large oak barrels, cement, and steel. The Loire's cooler climate preserves Cabernet Franc's natural herbaceous complexity alongside juicy fruit—a style that's often described as the French counterpart to Pinot Noir. Best served slightly chilled.

"The 2022 Vieilles Vignes is perfumed and floral, exuding violets and ripe red cherries. It's finely textured with an attractive chalkiness, good concentration and a smooth mid-palate. Despite the warm, clement vintage, there's still plenty of refreshment and sapidity on the pleasing finish. I'm happy to drink this now. You will be too." —Rebecca Gibb, MW

"Aromas of dark wild berries, violet, peony, iris and spices preface the 2021 Saumur Champigny Vieilles Vignes, a medium to full-bodied, round and sappy wine with bright acids and a juicy core of fruit that concludes with a mineral, gently licorice finish with menthol hints." —Yohan Castaing
