Hot Item Domaine Des Closiere Saumur-champigny 'les Coudraies' Set [b74r5ilp]

You can’t overstate the rapturous reception in France for Domaine des Closiers’ 2019s. Michel Bettane and his partner Thierry Desseauve led the chorus, calling them, essentially, the second coming of Clos Rougeard. But once you taste the wines, and learn more about the terroirs that produce them, you realize that is in fact one of the most important new domaines to emerge in the Loire in decades.

A second cuvee is selected from the Les Coudraies hillsides. With its more structured fruit, this bottling is aged approximately 12 months in mostly used barrels. Powerful and restrained, it is an exemplar of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc.
