The nose is full of cassis and rasberry notes while on the palate there are powerful red fruit flavours which are held together by a crip acidity supple texture and soft rounded tannins. It's also showing a nice touch of development which adds nicelt to the complexity.
When to drink:
It's a good red to serve just slightly below room temperature and will go well with grilled white meats, charcuterie, or soft cheeses.
PRODUCER
Langlois-Chateau
Founded in 1912 by Edouard Langlois and his wife Jeanne Château from the outset the company specialized in the sparkling wines. They suffered a major setback in 1915 when Edouard Langlois was killed during the First World War. However the business was carried on by his widow and continued to thrive.
In 1973 they were acquired by the famous champagne house Bollinger and with the financial investment that came with it were able to expand both their cellars and vineyard holdings in Saumur, Saumur-Champigny and Sancerre. In 2007 their winery at Saint-Hilare-Saint-Florent in Saumur was significantly expanded and now handles their entire production and distribution operations which are under the stewardship of the current chief winemaler and general manager, François Régis de Fougeroux. These days in addiition to their renowned Loire Valley sparkling wines their growing range of still wines is also starting to make waves.
