Tasting Notes

The flecks of orange that accent the rim of this ruby-hued wine show the interplay between La Chaintrée’s youthful vibrancy and early stages of evolution—this is a Saumur-Champigny that’s currently in a remarkable spot, firing on all cylinders. The nose erupts with just-mature aromas of red currant, dried red cherry and fig, green tobacco leaf, pencil lead, wet clay, and dried roses and violets, alongside a more lifted perfume of freshly cut flowers, ripe fruit confit, and sour cherry. The oak influence is barely perceptible at this point, with no hard edges and a gentle tannic structure.

The Producer

Clotilde & René-Noël Legrand

Domaine René-Noël Legrand in the heart of Saumur-Champigny has been a family run business since the 17th Century. The vines are 45 years old on average although the oldest were planted in 1927. Harvesting is carried out exclusively by hand. The grapes are de-stalked and then fermented for three to five weeks at 27 to 30°C in stainless steel tanks. The wine ferments naturally and the malolactic fermentation stage, avoiding wood, is also natural. Chaptalisation was stopped in the early 2000s. This leading light within the appellation stands out for its fresh and refined cuvées that reflect their individual terroirs exquisitely and age with style.
