Description / Reviews
"This wine is made of a plot of 3 hectares in front of the estate. Based on a gently sloping hill, this location offers a rare terroir in the Saumur-Champigny appellation, combining clays and draining Aeolian sands. This terroir is particularly favourable to Cabernet Franc. This cuvée expresses finesse and reveals sometimes floral notes sometimes small red fruits notes." - Cos Rougeard, Winemaker
"The 2020 Les Poyeux elegantly fills the mouth like an arch. It's not a big wine despite the warmth of the year, nor is it warm. This is serious and not overdone. It’s supple, ripe and gentle with some savory earthiness joining the cedary, tobacco-like oak. A few rains before harvest have ensured that it didn't become too concentrated. The 2020 is rounded and ripe, and its tannins offer the finest of grains. This is gentle, satisfying and balanced." - 94 Points, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous
