Absolutely delicious, bright, fresh, juicy Saumur Champigny that almost leaps out of the glass at you.
Caroline and Hervé take a minimalist intervention approach in the winery. The name ‘Glouglou’ is a play on words, referring to the ‘glug glug’ sound when someone pours a drink. Sourced from four different parcels of Cabernet Franc, the grapes for ‘Glouglou’ are hand-harvested and are then transferred into vats by gravity, where they undergo a short maceration for three days. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and the blend is aged for a further five months in stainless steel before bottling.
Have had this several times now, with various foods and it's just a thrilling glass of wine. Deep colour, floral with black cherry, raspberry and just a hint of herb on the nose. Crunchy and vibrant on the palate, a wonderfully pure expression of ripe Cabernet Franc.
