Domaine Le Petit Saint Vincent Les Poyeux Saumur Champigny 2018
Dominique Joseph is the fourth generation to lead Domaine Le Petit Saint Vincent. Dominique has led the winery since 1990 and they have been farming organically since at least then. The domaine farms 13 hectares of vineyards, with all but one being planted to Cabernet Franc. This wine is one of the finest expressions of Cabernet Franc - Pure and unfettered, darkly colored but not heavy, this is the essence of the grape on full display. Lavender and herbs on the nose pave the way to a beautifully textured wine with supple tannins. A core of dark red fruit, pepper, and earth are complex on the palate and seem to create the longest finish. This wine certainly falls into the “chillable red” category if one desires, and while it’s drinking beautifully right now, can be cellared for 7-10 years to show its ultimate potential.
