About this product
The flagship cuvée from one of Saumur-Champigny's finest biodynamic estates — Terres Chaudes (warm soils) produces a concentrated, complex Cabernet Franc of violet, cassis and graphite character with the chalk-mineral backbone of the tuffeau terroir and genuine aging potential of 10–15 years.
