Domaine de Nerleux Saumur Champigny “Nerleux” 2022
Sommelier recommends
“The nose reveals pronounced aromas of raspberry, strawberry, green herbs, and rich earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is dry, fruity, and rounded, with chalky tannins and a long finish.” — Ronalds Pētersons, Sommelier at Noble Wine19 in stock
Domaine de Nerleux Saumur-Champigny “Nerleux” 2022 is a classic Loire Valley Cabernet Franc that combines freshness with refined structure. The wine comes from vineyards planted on the region's characteristic tuffeau limestone soils, which impart distinctive minerality and elegance. The warm, sunny conditions of the 2022 vintage have given the wine greater fruit expression while preserving its vibrant acidity and the classic freshness for which the appellation is renowned.
The nose is dominated by fresh red berries—raspberry, redcurrant, and cherry—complemented by delicate floral and herbal nuances. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with soft, fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity. The finish is clean, elegant, and subtly mineral.
An excellent pairing for grilled or roasted white meats, duck, light beef dishes, as well as vegetable-based dishes and soft cheeses. The wine’s freshness and light structure enhance the flavours of the food without overpowering them, while its gentle tannins harmoniously complement the texture of the protein.
