Saumur Rouge //​ Domaine du Vieux Pressoir

This Cabernet Franc is from vines 6-25 years old on ancient soils. No oak, just fermentation in concrete, giving a full, fleshy, broad range of flavours without imparting any oak flavour. You get lovely ripe red berry fruits and spice, and fine-grained tannins.
