2022 Domaine Frantz Saumon 'Vin de Frantz' Gascogne, Vin de France
$24.99
Frantz Saumon has been making wine in Montlouis since 2002 when he graduated from oenology school. Instead of taking the traditional route and working for an established producer to learn the ropes, Frantz jumped in feet first and purchased a small plot of land of his own. A slightly obsessive, serious-minded vigneron, Frantz set out to make "true Montlouis"; to this end, he has converted the vineyards to organic viticulture, only relies on indigenous yeast, and uses sulfur minimally.
This Cuvée is made from organic purchased fruit grown on limestone soil comprised of Ugni Blanc, Gros Manseng, and Colombard from Azay-le-Rideau. Fermentation in mix of concrete and tank.
