Dumnacus Vignerons, 2021 – Saumur – Champigny

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is refined and gourmand: it expresses the roundness of ripe red fruits, their fine tanginess and a spicy touch in the background. We find notes of red cherry, strawberry, crushed raspberry, red currants, a touch of morello cherry, as well as a subtle floral bouquet (violet, a hint of iris and rose petals), some herbaceous notes (thyme dried, dried mint)and sweet spices (nutmeg, a touch of licorice) in the background. On the palate, the wine is gormand, juicy and supple, but with good structure and persistance in the mouth. It expresses flavors of tangy redfruits (raspberry, crunchy strawberry, red cherry, morello cherry juice, a touch of crushed blueberry),with a fine herbaceous touch. The mid-palateis fruity, juicy and enveloping, the finish is more on spice sand dried aromatic herbs. The tannins are structured, rather firm, but fine and enveloped. A racy andstraight forward wine.
