The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Loire - Saumur
Clos des Cordeliers Cuvée Tradition shows classic elegance from France's Loire Valley. Fragrant aromas of wild cherry, violet and crushed herbs lead onto a refined palate of red plum, juicy cranberry and subtle graphite. Bright yet supple tannins deliver freshness and finesse, with a lingering mineral note that is a clear nod to the limestone-rich soils of the region.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Marie-Françoise Ratron-Galet
Since 1932, the Ratron family has managed Le Clos des Cordeliers, a 13-hectare, walled vineyard in the historic village of Champigny. Today, fourth-generation winemaker Marie-Françoise Ratron-Galet manages the estate with the support of her team, focusing on Cabernet Franc. In 2021, she planted 3.5 hectares of Chenin, the Loire Valley's other iconic grape, marking a significant new chapter in the domaine's history.
"This is a cracking bottle of Saumur Cabernet Franc. It is packed with blackberry and cherry fruit. Subtle hints of fresh herbs give it a layer of complexity and the finish is marked by the region's unique minerality. Enjoy it now and over the next few years." - Marie-Francoise Ratron-Galet, Winemaker.
