Domaine des Coutures 2022 "L'epanouie" Saumur Champigny, Loire Valley

You know those Loire Valley Cabernet Francs that don’t taste that, “Cabernet Franc-y”? Yeah, this is not one of those. This is an unapologetic Cabernet Franc from the stunningly beautiful village of Saumur-Champigny. Deeply roasted root vegetables, like carrots and beets along with some spice and blue fruited flavors. Quite silky in the mouth with soft, agreeable tannins. Wonderful earthy little red for those of us that ache for a little wildness on our Loire Valley Cabernet Franc.
