Clotilde Legrand
Les Lizieres Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc
Saumur-Champigny, Anjou-Saumur, Loire Valley, France
Vintage 2021 | We once visited papa René Noél Legrand in Varrains; he showed modesty and determination as vintner. Clotilde makes a fine Saumur Champigny from ‘Les Liziéres’. No need to cellar long, it is a fine prove what Cabernet Franc can do. Purple reflection in colour and that joyful and vibrant cabfranc smell with raspberries and spicyness, nowhere bell pepper (showing some immaturity) and a supple elegant taste. Paired with a Cantonese dish: tenderloin with mango. Enjoyed this in the garden.
