Domaine de la Renière Saumur Coulée d’Arthenay 2020 from Domaine de la Renière in Saumur, Loire Valley, is a confident, structured Cabernet Franc that shows depth, restraint and clear site expression.

The nose leans toward black cherry, cassis and plum, layered with graphite, dried herbs and a subtle savoury earthiness. On the palate it is medium to full bodied, with firm but well integrated tannins and fresh acidity driving length and balance. There is a mineral backbone that keeps the wine focused, while time in bottle has softened the edges and added complexity. Domaine de la Renière Saumur Coulée d’Arthenay 2020 feels serious yet approachable, with plenty of energy left to age further.

This Domaine de la Reniere Saumur Coulee d’Arthenay 2020 pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, beef casseroles, game birds or hearty mushroom dishes.
