Domaine des Closiers is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting new producers to emerge from the Loire Valley. With a meagre 15 hectares of land under old vines situated atop the most ideal gentle clay and limestone slopes, recently purchased from a premium grower family, Closiers is already off to a good start. The real drawcard for this young domaine however, is the old hands that offer their expertise as consultants among the vines and in the cellar. After bringing in the pre-eminent organic viticulture exponent, Michel Chevre, formally of Roche Neuve and Nady Foucault of the renowned Clos Rougeard it's obvious that this domaine aspires to be one of the leading lights of the region. With such tremendous aspirations and the vast wealth of knowledge these two will bring, it's not hard to see why excitement is high among those who love Cabernet Franc.

2020 Saumur-Champigny 'Les Closiers'
Usually $59 - Special Offer $54
"The 2020 Saumur Champigny Les Closiers comes from Cabernet Franc plots cultivated on the limestone hillsides of Parnay. Vinified and matured in stainless steel vats, the Closiers reveals an intense but pure and refreshing bouquet of perfectly ripe red and dark fruits such as elderberries, blackcurrant, blueberries and blackberries as well as mulberries. Generous and gentle on the palate, this is a fruit-intense, very charming and juicy, wonderfully floral and delicate red with perfect ripeness but the lightness and finesse of a Saumur Champigny. The finish is pure and fleshy and reveals fine and stimulating tannins. It's impossible not to love this 2020 that was macerated for a month and then aged in vats for approximately 10 months. Nothing added here apart from small quantities of sulfur dioxide."

2020 Saumur-Champigny 'Les Coudraies'
Usually $89 - Special Offer $80
"Vinified in stainless steel tanks and then aged in barrels, the 2020 Saumur Champigny Les Coudraies comes from the low-yielding limestone slopes of Parnay that were cropped at 40 hectoliters per hectare that year. Vinified in stainless steel tanks and then aged in barrels, the Coudraies offers a deep and concentrated, spicy and fruity bouquet of dark fruits such as sour cherries and blackcurrant along with mint and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, round and intense on the palate, this is a substantial, dense and generous but structured Cabernet with very intense and juicy fruit, good mineral freshness, spicy tannins and a long and intense, very promising finish."
