Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Sourced from vines aged between 25 and 35 years, located in the Les Poyeux lieu-dit within the commune of Chacé, the 2021 Saumur Champigny Terres Chaudes exhales a perfumed, delicate bouquet of spices, peony, violet and leaves. Medium-bodied and displaying a poised and direct character, it's refined and gentle, boasting a crystalline texture and a calcareous, prolonged finish.
