🏰【From one of the Loire's most esteemed growers, the 2015 Antoine Sanzay Saumur Champigny Les Poyeux is a highly-rated Cabernet Franc from a grand cru quality site, offering remarkable finesse and balance.】 Antoine Sanzay, farming organically since 2014, crafts this wine from old vines planted in 1965 in the renowned Les Poyeux vineyard. The 2015 vintage is praised for its elegant, rich, and full-bodied character. It presents an elegant nose of blackberry, light mineral notes, leather, and plum, evolving to dark cherry, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a hint of bitter herbs. The palate features fine, well-rounded tannins, ripe red fruits, a touch of spice, and a fluid acidity that keeps it vibrant, culminating in a long finish.
🍴 This Cabernet Franc is an excellent partner for dishes with some fat, such as beef and lamb, and pairs wonderfully with creamy cheeses.
🥂 Currently at its peak, this wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner featuring red meats or a dedicated cheese course. It benefits from aeration, revealing more complexity over time.
