Now with 10+ years of age on it, this epic Saumur Rouge is really showing its best. Tertiary flavors of stewed red fruits, green bell peppers, mushroom, and tobacco leaf dominate this energetic and thought-provoking wine. La Charpentrie is home to Collier’s oldest vines (100+ years), which now produce very small amounts of concentrated and high-quality fruit. This is varietal Cabernet Franc in one of its most complex forms.
