Vintage Character The warm and sunny 2022 vintage in the heart of Saumur Champigny gave rise to the delightfully vibrant Domaine des Sables Verts Saumur Champigny Glouglou. This dry, sunny growing season provided ideal ripeness, yielding grapes with exceptional concentration while retaining essential cool-climate energy. Sourced from the estate's distinct "sables verts" (green sands) and clay-limestone soils, this Cabernet Franc benefits from a unique microclimate that imparts a distinctive mineral tension and silky tannins.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This expressive red bursts with fresh red cherries, wild raspberries, and crushed strawberries, complemented by subtle notes of white pepper and violet. On the palate, its light-to-medium body is balanced by energetic acidity and supple, delicate tannins, leading to a clean, refreshing finish. It pairs beautifully with a rustic French charcuterie board, roasted pork loin, or Cantonese roast duck.
