Cave la CaboteEstimated delivery between 2 and May 3,
Trained at the Lycée de Montreuil-Bellay, Antoine Sanzay took over his grandparents' vineyard at the Cave de Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg. Settled in 1999, he also delivered his entire harvest to the cooperative for three years, before setting about gradually vinifying the estate's vines (grass-covered and cultivated under the row). His potential is enviable, with 4 hectares in the Les Poyeux cru. "My grandfather was astonished to see his grandson recultivating his land, as he did before the war; I want to prove to him that he can trust me," he explains. The latest vintages offer greater precision in ageing and expression of fruit, and the white is proving to be one of the best of the new school of saumurois chenins. Domaine Antoine Sanzay's "Les Poyeux" cuvée comes from an emblematic plot of Saumur Champigny, composed of silico-limestone soil. The nose reveals magnificent notes of blackcurrant, blueberry and spice, with well-integrated oak. The palate is complex and silky, with aromas of spicy black fruits and chalky freshness. The tannins are powerful and sappy, making us notice the exceptionality of this wine.
