Enjoyed this 95 CF 5 CS blend from Saumur. Classic mineral backbone was present, just enough punch, but the best was its rounded and elegant texture that manifested on the palate. Not devoid of character, not sterile by any means, but just a classic Loire CF that decided to dress up for the evening and showed well. Clean, layered, downright drinkable

Outstanding and seriously undervalued Cabernet Franc. Pire is quickly becoming one of my go-to producers for value in the Saumur. This has it all- bright fruit, acid, funk, delicacy, green herbal notes and vegetal savoriness. Classic.
