The Wine
This silky and Cab Franc comes from 70+ year-old vines on the ‘Les Poyeux’ vineyard. If that name rings a bell, it’s because ‘Les Poyeux’’ is also famously produced by Clos Rougeard!
The 22 is a wine with a complex nose of ripe red fruits (blackcurrants and blueberries), with notes of sweet spices. Ample, velvety, juicy and fresh in the mouth, with a long and comforting finish. Looking great straight out of the bottle but also superb aging potential too. Real eye opener!

About the Wine Maker
Domaine des Sables Verts is situated in Verrains, nestled in the Saumur Champigny appellation's core within the Loire Valley. Owned and managed by Caroline Meurée and Hervé Malinge, the vineyard spans 16.50 hectares across five communes: Varrains, Chacé, Saumur, Souzay-Champigny, and Parnay. Its 33 plots showcase a variety of complementary terroirs, all cultivated with ecological and environmentally sustainable practices. Notably, some vines thrive on "green sand" soils, which are calcareous sands from the secondary era, enriched with glauconite. These unique soils impart a distinctive freshness and intensity to the estate's Cabernet Franc wines.
