We are featuring Domaine de Nerleux winery in Saumur Champigny inside the Loire Valley, This wine is made of 100% Cabernet Franc. It is a treat and very hard to get, so don't pass this up!
Domaine de Nerleux "Les Loups Noirs" Saumur Champigny 2005 -
It is the plot called Tire-savatte which produces this blend, the slopes of which dominate the Thouet valley and the village of Saumoussay. This very concentrated vintage will seduce you by its aromatic expression extremely powerful linking red macerated fruits with liquorices, vanillas and grilled nuances. Born from a strict selection of mature grapes, this more autumnal vintage reflects all the concentration of Cabernet Franc vine on the Saumurois soil. All the cares given to these grapes give it a generous and powerful mouth which let express the mellow tannin, result of a long and careful growth. It's better to put it in a carafe before serving it at room temperature (65-68°) so will give its aromatic range and its opulent structure on delicious red meats, big game birds and chocolate cakes.
Philippe's Everyday Price $24.99- Vintage Service Price $22.50 per bottle or $21.25 for 6 or more bottles.
