Domaine de la Seigneurie des Tourelles Saumur Rouge AOC 2017

On the nose, the wine has aromas of red and black fruits such as cherries, blackberries, and raspberries, along with hints of spices and herbs such as thyme and lavender. On the palate, the wine is dry and well-structured, with flavors of ripe fruit and a hint of pepper. The tannins are firm but not overwhelming, providing a good balance to the acidity and fruitiness of the wine.

The flavor notes of the wine open up when combined with meat dishes. Also delicious with goat cheese.

The wine is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes, which are hand-picked at their optimal ripeness to ensure the best quality fruit. Once the grapes are harvested, they are sorted and destemmed before being gently crushed. The juice and skins are then fermented together in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for about 2-3 weeks.

After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months in oak barrels, which impart a subtle oak flavor and texture to the wine. Before being bottled, the wine is fined and filtered to remove any impurities and ensure clarity. Finally, the wine is bottled and aged for several more months in the bottle before being released to the market.
