Domaine des Coutures, La flamboyante 2020 – Saumur – Champigny

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity, with slight purple reflections. The nose is delicate, even discreet, but offers a certain depth and complexity. It expresses notes of wild strawberry, crushed raspberry, morello cherry, red cherry jam, red currant jelly, blackcurrant, associated with notes of violet, fresh rose, iris, dried mint, blackcurrant bud, as well as a fine spicy side (licorice, coriander seeds, groundcumin) and a very discreet note of sweet coffee in the background. The palate is tasty, silky and concentrated. There is a lot of fruit, slight notes of sweet spices, as well as a fine floral bouquet and as light minerality in the background. We find in particular notes of wild strawberry, red cherry jam, crushed blueberry, blackcurrant (even crème de cassis), morello cherry and blackberry, supplemented by notes of licorice, clove, cumin ground, licorice, dried rose, violet and coffee in the background. The tannins are fine, but powerful and tasty. Beautiful salivating acidity which balances a certain richness of the wine. Good persistence with a pleasant bitterness on the finish.
