Domaine des Closiers Saumur Champigny "Les Coudraies" Rouge '21

Cabernet Franc grapes are allowed a cold maceration period before fermentations commence, and total macerations can exceed a month. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Extractions are very gentle, with no punchdown and only a short pumpover every 1-2 days. No products are used except a minimal level of SO2 prior to bottling. Wines are aged in tunnels dug into the limestone hillside by previous generations of vignerons. Aged in used barrels for an additional 8-12 months.
