Plessis-Duval Saumur Champigny 2022

Sub 10€ Loire cabernet franc is such a reliable wine category, I almost always love what I buy. From Central Europe where I leave one of the best, easily accessible selection of such wines can be found on Vinatis – you can find many of them reviewed on this site and here is another one I enjoyed recently.

Loire Valley cabernet franc made in an early drinking style. So well made, it’s pure, balanced and moderately structured. Lowish alcohol but no green notes, just graphite, red and black fruits. Gentle tannins, roundness, a pleasure to drink. A lovely mid-week red wine, 87 points, recommended. Around 8€, stockist is decantalo.com and more. Drink now-2026.
