Domaine des Sables Verts, Saumur-Champigny "Les Poyeux", 2022 2019Monfortino Perfect as an apéritif orSaumur Champigny from a new domaine asking old questions. Caroline Meure and Herv Malinge's Cabernet Franc is hand harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts, then split across three vesselsamphora, stainless, and rare Latour barrels. The result: ripe red fruits, soft spice, velvety texture that plays against the Loire's natural acidity. This is Cabernet Franc without dogma, letting terroir and technique speak.
