2021 Les Justices Saumur-Champigny Palsambleu

A unique interpretation of Cabernet Franc from a nearly 80 year old vineyard called "Les Justices" which they found on the French version of Craiglist. Pretty cool, eh? 

We love Cabernet Franc and often describe it this way to customers, " Think of Cab Franc as the love child of Cru Beaujolais and Bordeaux". It has some of that juicy bounce you find in Gamay along with a bit of the grip and earthiness of a Bordeaux. A divine pairing with the Italian American dish Sausage and Peppers. Fire. 

After initially sharing space with their friends at Domaine Bobinet, they were able to purchase an old US Army barracks from the town of Saumur in 2021. The building was in a bit of a sad state, but they were able to fix it up and vinify their wines in their own space starting with the 2021s. Their long-term vision is to continue to fix up the cellar, add new vines when it makes sense, but to remain very small. They strongly believe this is the only way to maintain quality, and, most importantly, to properly respect the land and vines.
