Domaine des Sables Verts - Les Clos Forènes 2022
Domaine des Sables Verts is located in Verrains, in the heart of the Saumur Champigny appellation in the Loire Valley . The estate was taken over in 2019 by Caroline Meuré and Hervé Malinge . The vineyard covers 16.50 hectares and 5 communes: Varrains, Chacé, Saumur, Souzay-Champigny and Parnay. The 33 plots offer a diversity and complementarity of terroirs which are part of an ecological and environmentally friendly approach . Some of the vines are grown on “green sand” soils ; sands deposited in the secondary era, more or less calcareous and rich in glauconium. These green sands bring freshness and concentration to the Cabernet Francs.
Les Clos Forènes is a new vintage from the estate. Vinification is carried out in whole clusters and the wine is aged in vats.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
