Domaine Vieux Bourg
The estate operates eighteen hectares: sixteen are planted with Cabernet Franc on remarkable clay-limestone soils such as the "Dares" or the "Clos" on the main street. Two are planted with Chenin on limestone soils. The vines are naturally grassed every other row to avoid too much vigor, the other is worked to make the roots of the vine plunge deep into the soil. Vinification takes place in thermo-regulated vats. The aging is done in micro-oxygenation for the spring cuvées and in barrels for the most robust Saumur Champigny. The Saumur Blancs are aged on lees in barrels.
Description
The bluestone soils help to form a wine which is ample, powerful and spicy. There are notes of black cherry, cranberries and kirsch. Delicious now, yet this is a wine that can be aged for up to 10 years. The 2020 vintage has produced wines which are concentrated and harmonious between colour, body, roundness and aromas of ripe red fruits.
Food Pairing
The perfect wine to pair with game such as duck or pigeon. Or try it with goats cheese and be pleasantly surprised!
