Domaine des Closiere Saumur-Champigny 'Les Closiers'

You can’t overstate the rapturous reception in France for Domaine des Closiers’ 2019s. Michel Bettane and his partner Thierry Desseauve led the chorus, calling them, essentially, the second coming of Clos Rougeard. But once you taste the wines, and learn more about the terroirs that produce them, you realize that is in fact one of the most important new domaines to emerge in the Loire in decades.

The Closiers bottling is the estate's entry point, and it is 100% Cabernet Franc fermented and aged in tank. Bursting with energy and very easy to drink and enjoy, it is certainly no simple wine. Far from it, this showcases notes of red fruits, spice, mineral, and very fine texture.
