2015 Saumur Champigny Lisagathe

From tuff soils, the 2015 Saumur-Champigny Lisagathe displays a dark ruby color along with ripe, elegant and concentrated fruit (red and dark berries) along with beautiful floral aromas. It has great finesse; Burgundy is on my mind. The palate is erotic: enormously juicy, perfectly ripe and elegant, super lush but structured with very fine tannins and an endless flow of chalky minerals and red fruits. This is a great Cabernet Franc from the Loire, of which one can’t buy enough bottles because it will still be irresistible in 20, even in 30 years.
