Saumur Champigny 2022, premier round

Saumur Champigny 2022, first round

jeudi 07 novembre 2024

After an atypical 2021 vintage that is not unanimous, I was curious to see what 2022 could give in two very good producers of Saumur-Champigny. I did not take you the top of the basket because the experience would be expensive, but on the contrary the two "basic" cuvées which have only seen the tank. What they have in common is a very ripe fruit without the slightest varietal trace, but also a good freshness. And the same alcoholic degree (13.5 %). For the rest, it diverges a lot. Each will find its amateurs, I think. 

 

 

The dress is dark garnet not very translucent with purplish reflections. 

The nose is discreet on the black fruit coulis, the pepper and an aside touch. 

The mouth is round, ample, enveloping, deploying a dense and velvety material with very ripe fruit, while offering a beautiful aromatic freshness. 

This increases even more in a tonic finish, invigorating with explosive fruit, extended by a beautiful tasty lamb's lettuce, giving a sacred taste of come back...  

The dress is a translucent dark ruby. 

The nose is fine, on the candied raspberry, the pepper white and liquorice. 

The mouth is round, very large, aerial, with a silky material gradually gaining in density until it becomes fleshy / velvety. 

The whole offers a fruit of bright freshness present from the attack and always present in the final, even if a more mature - and more mineral / spicy - counterpoint - Monte crescendo and ends up winning.
