2019 Saumur-Champigny, Domaine des Sanzay
Jancis Robinson & Tamlyn Currin on www.jancisrobinson.com www.jancisrobinson.com, 11th Jun 2021Full bottle 1,335 g. Certified organic. 100% Cabernet Franc on clay-limestone.
Mid purplish crimson. Fragrant with a layer of definite sweetness on the nose. Good bite and medium weight. Bone-dry finish. A lovely lunch wine, or for outdoor dining in high temperatures nicely chilled? Sappy. Just the right amount of acidity and just a little, very fine tannin. Reasonably assertive, presumably from a vintage that ripened the fruit perfectly. 14%
