Antoine Sanzay Saumur-Champigny "Les Poyeux" 2017: Description and Review Notes
Description: This wine comes from the 4-hectare vineyard of Les Poyeux , one of the most prestigious sites in Saumur-Champigny. The vines, planted in 1965, are planted on a terroir of limestone and clay. The estate is cultivated organically, with traditional vinification: natural fermentation without added yeasts, aging for 15 months in tuns and large old wooden containers, followed by 6 months in vats before bottling. No filtering or fining is carried out, and sulfites are added in minimal quantities.
The 2017 vintage, characterized by a hot and dry year, offers a balanced, elegant and very fresh wine. The dominant aromas include notes of juicy cherry, blackcurrant, vanilla spices, and a touch of bitter herbs, supported by a mineral structure and fine tannins.
Reviews and ratings:
- Vivino: 4.0/5, praising its elegance and ability to age well through 2026 or beyond .
- Wine Enthusiast: The wine is considered vibrant and fresh, with a potential ageing potential of around ten years. The liveliness and complexity make it an excellent example of Loire Cabernet Franc .

TerroirSense Wine Review: This wine is described as vibrant, with marked acidity and aromas of cocoa, black cherry, and herbs. Ideal with fatty dishes like beef or lamb to balance its acidity
Food and wine pairings: This wine goes perfectly with red meats (beef, lamb) or creamy cheeses, thanks to its acidity and freshness which balance the richness of the dishes.
In short, this 2017 vintage embodies a wine of great precision, from an exceptional terroir, perfect for Cabernet Franc lovers looking for elegant and tasty wines.
