Herve Villemade 2018 Cour-Cheverny Les Saules, Loire Valley

Herve Villemade’s “Les Saules” is made from the distinct grape varietal Romorantin. Romorantin is the only grape permitted in the French, Loire Valley AOC of Cour-Cheverny. After being fermented in a tronconic vat and aged in a concrete egg, this curvy wine expresses the taste of apple skins with some nuttiness and a balanced bright acidity.
