Ch de Villeneuve, Le Grand Clos 2018 Saumur-Champigny
16.5
Certified organic. 60-year-old vines from the clos that surrounds the château. Aged 14 months in wooden tank and 600-litre barrels.
Dense but still slightly reserved. Opens in the glass to offer dark fruit and pepper notes. Ripe but plenty of freshness, the fruit attractive on the palate. Tannins firm but polished. Some ageing potential. (JL)
