The 2017 Saumur Rouge from Domaine de la Seigneurie des Tourelles is a fresh and vibrant, displaying a gorgeous dark purple color and aromas of raspberries and red plums, crushed violets, tobacco, smoke and wild herbs all reflect on the palate. Medium-bodied and light on its feet, this red is driven by fine-grained tannins and bright acidity keeping it fresh and vibrant through the finish as the classic Cabernet Franc character contines to shine. Overall, a this is a lovely wine, which should flesh out nicely over the next year or two. This sensible red would make a lovely pairing with some lighter meat dishes.
