Domaine des Closiers 'Les Closiers' - Saumur-Champigny

The 2021 Domaine des Closiers 'Les Closiers' Cabernet Franc hails from Saumur - Champigny in the beautiful Loire Valley, France. Proprietor Anatole de la Brosse fulfilled his lifelong dream when he bought this estate in Parnay in 2018. Parnay's sloping hillside vineyards, unlike the flatter parts of Saumur - Champigny, create perfect conditions for high - quality fruit with great concentration. All the fruit here, including the Cabernet Franc in this bottle, is certified organic and biodynamic. This wine offers elegant flavors of black cherries, mulberries, tobacco leaf, and forest floor. It's full - bodied and well - balanced on the palate. It pairs perfectly with braised meats and vegetables or hard, aged cheeses.

To enjoy this Domaine des Closiers 'Les Closiers' wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes before pouring. This will help open up its flavors. Serve it at a temperature of around 60 - 65°F (15 - 18°C). When it comes to food pairings, as mentioned, it goes great with braised meats and vegetables or hard, aged cheeses. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep the wine in the refrigerator and consume it within 2 - 3 days. Remember, this is an organic and biodynamic wine, so savor its natural and unique flavors.
