Antoine Sanzay, 'La Paterne' Saumur Champigny

100% Cabernet France made to be a more 'entry' style, however you will soon realise there is nothing entry about this very serious and structured Loire Cab Franc. Organic viticulture, 50+ year old vines, natural ferment & aged nine months in cement with 40% in wooden tonneaux.

Sixth-generation, Antoine, was the first of his family to bottle his own wines. After making the right connections, and meticulous time working with the local growers to source and eventually maintain his own fruit.

 Intense crunchy red fruits and damsons with a tannic grip. Wild herbs, earth and a lifted floral notes.
