Domaine de la Guilloterie - Saumur-Champigny Rouge (2017)
Saumur-Champigny, Loire Valley, France
About this Wine
Deep, dark color. Round. Rather round and silky nose of dark fruit notes. Fresh palate on very ripe berries and warm fruit notes, with the perfect Cabernet Franc and terroir, racy touch, earthy expression, finish is mellow and long. Young but already so elegant, balanced and showing how 2017 has been limited in yield but so generous aromatically.
This spicy wine has a good balance of red fruits and acidity. The floral character brings out freshness and contrasts with the smoky aromas. Without wood aging, the wine's fruitiness is just right now. Wine Enthusiast
A silky version, with notes of mulberry and rosemary mingling at the core, while earthy mineral details echo in the background. Expressive, showing solid structure and length. Drink now through 2023. Wine Spectator
