LISAGATHE Chateau du HUREAU SAUMUR CHAMPIGNY 2023 Organic Wine 75 cl

Description

Lisagathe 2023: the refined expression of an organic Saumur-Champigny

Château du Hureau’s Lisagathe 2023 represents one of the most ambitious expressions of Saumur-Champigny. This single-vineyard cuvée is made from 100 per cent Cabernet Franc, grown using Ecocert-certified organic farming methods. The vines are planted in the ‘La Corde’ vineyard, at the edge of the hillside, onsandy-clay soilresting on tuffeau limestone.

Here, the Cabernet Franc reveals a particularly elegant aromatic profile. The nose combines ripe red fruits, black fruits, violets and spicy notes, with a mineral dimension reminiscent of the limestone terroir. On the palate, the wine impresses with its depth and controlled power, whilst retaining the beautiful finesse and freshness characteristic of the great reds of the Loire.

The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted on arrival at the winery. After complete destemming, the wine undergoes maceration for 25 to 35 days, followed by ageing for 18 to 24 months in large oak casks and barrels.

This organic red wine from the Loire thus possesses a truly gastronomic quality. It pairs perfectly with leg of lamb, rib of beef, duck fillet, game birds or mature cheeses.

The Lisagathe 2023 is aimed at wine lovers seeking a deep, elegant Saumur-Champigny with ageing potential, whilst retaining the freshness and precision for which the great Cabernet Francs of the Loire Valley are renowned.
