Dme. des Clos Maurice 'La Pièce d'Or' Saumur Rouge

$24.00

Saumur-Champigny > Loire Valley > France

Cabernet Franc, 2024

We sure do love a Loire valley Cab Franc, don’t you? While most from the region exhibit the classic green pepper or jalapeño notes the varietal is know for, this one is all about the gorgeous floral aromatics. Planted on limestone and clay soils, farmed with biodynamic principles, hand harvested, fermented with native yeast, and a 2 week maceration in concrete tank. You’ll delight in the beauty, a little gold coin in your wine collection.

Grape: 100% Cabernet Franc

ABV: 13%

The Story: The Hardouin family has been present in Varrains since 1783. In 2007, Mickael Hardouin began making wine from their exceptionally placed vineyards. Biodynamic farming is practiced, and minification is conducted with an extremely hands-off approach, just the way we like it.

Personality: Notes of red currant, graphite, black tea, and baking spice - a marvelously sumptuous aromatic wonder.

Harmony: Cabernet Franc a gracious partner to a variety of food pairings. Think about slow roasted pork belly, grilled Walla Walla onions, turnips, lentils, frisee, cherries and hazelnuts. BOOM, perfect pairing!
