2020 | Chateau de Villeneuve | Saumur Champigny

The wine shows a bright ruby-purple colour with a brightening rim. The nose is intense and perfumed, revealing nuances of forest raspberries and blackberries, a touch of bramble, combined with notes of fresh tobacco and green bell pepper in the echo. The palate is juicy and dense with elevated, crisp acidity, a lot of concentration of fruit, chalky, slightly drying tannins, a light bitterness. The wine bursts with bright notes of juicy red and black cherries, cranberries and wild strawberries, complicated by notes of black currant leaf and a hint of jalapeño. Vibrant, juicy, spicy finish with a delicate bitterness in the aftertaste.
