I may have undersold this. It's bright and juicy, lively and with good palate persistence. Comes up a little short in complexity; otherwise there is nothing to criticize.

A light red with plenty of green pepper and bright cranberry fruit. Drinking well and matched well with spaghetti squash and mushroom/shallot/prosciutto sauce.

Drinking nicely; analogous to a high quality Cote du Rhone for the Loire. Lacks the complexity of top bottlings but delivers flavor, typicity and a lot of quality at this price. Tart berries, black pepper, bell pepper, and earth, with an acidic energy.

Nice development in the bottle. Delivering much more interest and pleasure than the last bottle, and expressing good Francness. Moist earth, some olive juice, medium body. Especially good value.

From 375ml. Nice entry level Saumur with bright cranberry fruit with a little green pepper. Good acidity. PnP to partner well with grilled tuna.
