Description
The 2021 Chateau Fouquet bottling from Domaine Filliatreau is an excellent, young Saumur. This vineyard is located in the commune of Brézé, which Paul Filliatreau purchased in rundown condition in 1987 and replanted in 1989 with cabernet franc cuttings from Charles Joguet. The wine is impressively ripe for a 2021 and offers up a lovely mix of red and black fruit in its aromatic constellation of cherries, dark berries, cigar wrapper, juniper berries, a lovely base of tuffeau soil tones and a topnote of bonfire. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and very precise, with a good core of fruit, fine soil signature, tangy acids and excellent balance on the long, complex and ripely tannic finish. It is a lovely, low fat example of Saumur Rouge, with loads of personality.
