Château de Chaintres - Clos des Oratoriens rouge 2018
Produced from the oldest vines on the Clos' finest terroir, this powerful red wine already reveals its concentration to the eye with its deep ruby color. The texture is dense and generous, delivering intense, toasted red fruit flavors. The tannins soften on the palate, which is supple and smooth, with precision and persistence leading to a mineral finish. A very fine Saumur-Champigny!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
The arrival of the talented Jean-Philippe Louis as technical director has breathed new life into this sleeping beauty in the Saumur region, where the soil is clay-limestone and the sun shines generously. The 2018 vintage heralds the estate's resurrection, with a red cuvée from old vines offering rich, fruity flavors. The Clos-des-Oratoriens white wine requires more time to develop. Watch this space!
