Domaine du Collier Saumur 'Les Chanseaux' 2022

A pure, energetic expression of Cabernet Franc from Antoine Foucault's clay-limestone parcels in Brézé. The nose opens with red and black currant, violet, and crushed stone, framed by a savory lift of dried herbs and a whisper of graphite — classic Saumur.

The finish is long and mineral-driven, closing on notes of dried rose petal and a faint smokiness from extended barrel aging. Still a touch reserved in its youth — this is a wine that will reward a few years in the cellar, unfurling into something even more complete. Importer note
