Domaine des Sables Verts 'Glouglou' 2022
The Wine
Sables Verts' Glouglou has instant appeal!
Despite its accessibility, this is a seriously well-crafted wine that displays intriguing complexity. Soft tannins lend a silky texture to the wine, and the flavours of vibrant red fruits burst forth in the palate. Vibrant acidity adds freshness and vitality, offering an approachable and delightful tasting experience, perfect for enjoying without the necessity of aging but can take some cellar time too. A great example and introduction into the world of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc - Highly Recommended!

About the Wine Maker
Domaine des Sables Verts is situated in Verrains, nestled in the Saumur Champigny appellation's core within the Loire Valley. Owned and managed by Caroline Meurée and Hervé Malinge, the vineyard spans 16.50 hectares across five communes: Varrains, Chacé, Saumur, Souzay-Champigny, and Parnay. Its 33 plots showcase a variety of complementary terroirs, all cultivated with ecological and environmentally sustainable practices. Notably, some vines thrive on "green sand" soils, which are calcareous sands from the secondary era, enriched with glauconite. These unique soils impart a distinctive freshness and intensity to the estate's Cabernet Franc wines.
