Fabien Duveau SAUMUR Champigny Le Bourg 2021

A wine made from grapes of the mentioned varieties which are later mixed to make a blend that combines the Cabernet Franc (concentrated and generous), Mandó & Summol and the bouquet provided by the four months oak ageing. Post bottled to continue the process of ageing in bottle.

A full, firm, ripe left-bank claret that shows style and richness. Superb vintage.

This superb 5th Growth Pauillac is owned by the Rothschild family, now for the third generation. With vineyards perfectly positioned next to First Growths Lafite and Mouton, the only surprise is its classification isn't higher. A 95-pt masterpiece.

Exhibiting aromas of rich currant fruit and creamy new oak, the 2019 Siran is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully chewy finish. This is a flavourful, nicely balanced wine that will reward a bit of bottle age. Robert Parker 22/02/22
