Saumur-Champigny Rouge "Les Bas Poyeux"

France
Loire
2022

Duveau makes two reds from the famous "Poyeux" vineyard in Chacé. Contrary to what you would expect, the "Bas Poyeux" has little top soil and is composed of sandy limestone on top of rocky green chalk. The vines were planted in 1960. It's aged in a mix of cement and barrels. On the palate, it distinguishes itself with rich, fresh aromas. A nose of blackcurrant, a full, fruity palate and smooth tannins characterize this cuvée from the mythical sandy-clay terroir of "Les Poyeux".
