Saumur-Champigny - La Marginale

Grape variety: 100% Cabernet franc

Breeding: 12 months in round casks of 25 hl.

Vinification: Manual harvesting with sorting on the table at the reception in the cellar. Fermentation of the wine in wooden vats with very light pumping over just to wet the hat. Aged for 12 months in round barrels of 25 hl.

Tasting: The nose releases pretty menthol nuances, red fruit liqueur or even star anise to which are added spicy scents. On the palate, the attack is straightforward, powerful and immediately suggests the full potential of a great terroir. Its intense fruitiness seems imposing and the acidity, without ostentation, draws the contours of the material, guaranteeing the aromatic identity of the flavors.

Food pairing: To be enjoyed with a black pudding with apples, a thick pork chop, a rack of lamb in a herb crust, an oxtail with a spoon.
