Fabien Duveau Saumur-Champigny Chacé 'Les Hautes Poyeux' 2022
type: Product
description: Certified Organic Certified Biodynamic From 2023 Variety: Cabernet Franc Country, Region: France, Loire Valley Appellation: AOC Saumur-Champigny 100% Cabernet Franc from vines planted in 1980 on sandy-clayey silt over limestone. 100% de-stemmed and fermented with indigenous yeast in tank then 12 months ageing in older barrels before blending in tank and bottling with minimal SO2 with no fining or filtering. Deeper colour and very fine and pure on the palate with a big step up in expression and complexity this shows real finesse of tannins and structure and is a very beautiful expression of variety and site. A serious and stunning Saumur rouge that will age effortlessly. Very limited. 'In his 14th century underground cellars, Fabien Duveau embodies the 8th generation at the head of the Chacé family estate, which covers around fifteen hectares. Poyeux and Bourg are at the top of the bill with certified organic wines that are structured and elegant, with a beautiful aromatic persistence. The 2020s are a priority for the appellation. This is one of the revelations of the year.' Bettane + Desseauve, 2024. Fabien Duveau makes his wines in a deep limestone cave dug in the 14th century from the same beautiful creamy white sandstone that built the great Loire châteaux. Located in the narrow main street of Chacé, it’s only a few doors from the Foucault cellars where for many years visitors came to taste the wines of Clos Rougeard. The caves were first used as dwellings for the Saumurois, though the constant chill and humidity levels they bring are more perfectly suited for winemaking and storage than human habitation. The domaine, in Fabien’s family since the late 18th century, now spreads over 16 hectares around the neighbouring villages of Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg, Varrains and Brézé. For winemaking all wines are fermented with native yeast and his reds are 100 % destemmed and whites whole bunch pressed. No SO2 is used in the elevage until bottling with minimal safe levels. Fabie…
