Killer Loire from Antoine Sanzay

The Sanzay family have been in the Loire region for seven generations, always growing grapes and selling to the local co-op.  That was, until Antoine came along and started ending contracts and keeping the fruit for himself.  He was already regarded as a wonderful grape grower in the region, now he is certified organic and putting traditional methods to work in the cellar to produce wines that are really turning heads.

Today, we have a few selections for you to check out, including the famous "Les Poyeux" vineyard, made famous by Clos Rougeard.  Our pricing on these is stellar!

In addition to the regular Saumur Champigny bottling, we have:

La Paterne - Cabernet Franc planted in the 1970s in clay and limestone heavy soils.  Wild fermentation in concrete tanks, then about half aged in cement while the rest goes into wooden vat.
Les Terres Rouge - 20 year old vines, about half whole cluster, fermened and aged in 100% concrete.
Les Salles Martin - From a vineyard planted in the 1990s, same natural fermentation in concrete but then transferred to a sandstone amphora for aging.
Les Poyeux - Here we have the oldest vines from the 1960s and after concrete fermentation, it's aged in a mix of wooden vats and five year old barrels for about a year and a half.

Orders which include wines marked PRE-ARRIVAL that are combined with in stock items will be available for shipping/collection once all items have arrived at our warehouse.
