Dom. Fouet 2022 Saumur Champigny "La Rouge et Noire" Vielles Vignes
Our first importation of this cuvée, the issue of vines upwards of 50 years old, is testament to the unique capacity of Cabernet Franc to offer a seamless journey from uninhibited youth to serene maturity, never losing a step on the way. Aged in used 500 litre casks, it oozes class from first to last.
