TASTING

• When to drink this wine : 2025 - 2038
• Tasting notes : Originating from Dampierre sur Loire and cultivated on Turonian clay-limestone soil, Saumur Champigny Clos de l'Échelier opens with an intense and slightly toasted aroma of blue and red berries intermingled with nougat, chocolate, toasted notes, but also stony and even iodized. Subtle flavours of sweet notes and red paprika. The palate is soft, round and intense, a supple Cabernet, intense in fruit, but pure and lively. There are ripe tannins that intertwine perfectly with the saline acidity. This is a Cabernet de Champigny of great purity, freshness, finesse and grip.
