Domaine des Sables Verts, run by young winemaking couple Caroline Meurée & Hervé Malinge, acquired their vineyards in 2019, including 1.8ha in the famous Les Poyeux vineyard in Saumur-Champigny. The 2022 Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux is a red wine made from Cabernet Franc. This vintage is described as having a complex nose of very ripe red fruits like blackcurrants and blueberries, with notes of sweet spices. On the palate, it is ample, velvety, and fresh, with a long finish. Tasting notes for this wine often highlight red fruit (raspberry, cherry), black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant), and sometimes oaky notes (vanilla) or earthy notes (leather, minerals). The Les Poyeux vineyard is known for its old vines, planted in the 1950s, on silica-limestone soils with green sand and tuffeau. 🍴 Food Pairing: This French Middle Loire Cabernet Franc is an excellent match for lamb, vegetarian dishes, poultry, and goat's milk cheese. Its fruit-forward and fresh profile would also complement roasted pork or charcuterie boards. 🥂 Event Suggestions: The 2022 Domaine des Sables Verts Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux is ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a gathering with friends who appreciate Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, or a cozy evening by the fireplace with a good meal. 【From the famous Les Poyeux vineyard with old vines】
