Fabien Duveau Saumur Champigny rouge Bourg 1.5L MAGNUM 2023

Fabien Duveau Saumur Champigny rouge Bourg is a Cabernet Franc grown on the tuffeau limestone east of Saumur, bottled in magnum.

Saumur Champigny is Cabernet Franc grown across nine communes east of Saumur on Turonian tuffeau, where a shallow clay and flint topsoil over soft white limestone drains freely and keeps the grape's natural freshness. Bourg denotes a plot within that area. Cabernet Franc on this rock gives a red of moderate alcohol, fine tannin and a savoury, leafy edge rather than the density found in warmer regions, and the appellation's best wines age far longer than their weight suggests. Vinification is generally straightforward, with gentle extraction, a portion of whole bunch where the vintage allows, and ageing in tank or seasoned wood.

Fresh and savoury with fine tannin, it suits charcuterie, roast pork, grilled lamb and lentil dishes; serve lightly chilled at 15 to 16 degrees.
