Château de Villeneuve Saumur-Champigny Rouge 2020
Grapes: Cabernet Franc
From the importer D.B. Wine: On the plateau overlooking the Loire, the Château de Villeneuve offers stunning views of the river wild. Magnificent eighteenth century mansion, it is built in stone which the nobility of the terroir of the region: the tufa.
1969 the Family Chevallier became the owner of the castle which was entirely restored and acquired its present look. In 1997, after extensive renovation and modernizing work, the Château de Villeneuve returns to its original cellars giving back to the property all of its original charm.
The 25 hectares surrounding the property of the family Chevallier give complex wines marked by a great personality.
The work of the vineyard is done in a reasoned: grass growing between the rows with Kentucky blue grass to maximize rooting and water supply to the vine, preservation of natural enemies (typhlodrome, thrips…) to promote integrated pest management and to limit the use of pesticides.
Villeneuve’s Saumur-Champigny is 100% Cabernet Franc, hand-harvested from 35 to 40 year old vines. Very bright, clear, vivid, ruby red. Floral notes of violets and rose. Fruits, spice and mineral backdrop. Vivacious and vigorous. Opening out in exotic tones. A gentle wine, almost delicate, although powerful.
