Tasting profile (AI-generated)

Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry

This is a biodynamic Saumur red from Château de Fosse-Sèche, blending Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon into a fresh, savoury style. Expect bright red berry fruit, a floral lift, and a chalky, herbal edge from the Loire's cooler terroir, with fine but present tannins. It's an easy-drinking, food-friendly style rather than a big, heavy red.

Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
