Domaine des Clos Maurice 'La Piece D'Or' Saumur Rouge 2024

100% Cabernet Franc

The history of Domaine des Clos Maurice dates back to the 1700s.  Biodynamic, Organic, hand harvested, clay/limestone soil, ambient yeast ferment, 2 week maceration in concrete, minimal filtration.  Bright, translucent ruby-red with lively purple reflections.  Fresh aromas of crushed red berries (raspberry, red cherry, and strawberry), complemented by lifted floral accents of violet, subtle green peppercorn, and a clean, earthy underbrush or graphite minerality tied to the region's clay-limestone (tuffeau) soils.  Supple and energetic with juicy red fruit flavors, fine-grained, silky tannins, and a refreshing, bright backbone of acidity.  Clean, savory, and persistent, leaving a lingering mineral and lightly spiced edge.  12.5% ABV
