Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur-Champigny Terres Chaudes 2018 - Bt | VNS92

Tasting note

From Les Poyeux, one of Saumur-Champigny’s top vineyard sites. Aged 12 months in older barrels. Dark ruby. Surprising freshness and purity here. The nose is fruity (cherry and plum), and that carries on to the palate. Attractive earthiness and smooth stone at midpalate, coddled at the edges by spice and licorice that glide to the long finish.

Score: 92
