Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2009 Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux has a discreet, rather floral bouquet with a sweet core that exhibits subtle aromas of mocha, tobacco, black olive tapenade. Full-bodied, concentrated and firmly structured the silky textured and persistent wine has a well hidden power due to its phenomenal vitality and freshness. The tannins are ripe, fine and quite smooth but structured.

Cabernet Franc, a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, is the subtler and more delicate of the Cabernets. Today Cabernet Franc produces outstanding single varietal wines across the wine-producing world. Somm Secret—One of California's best-kept secrets is the Happy Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara. Here Cabernet Franc shines as a single varietal wine or in blends, expressing sumptuous fruit, savory aromas and polished tannins.
Marked by great châteaux built with the same tuffeau limestone that is also responsible for the excavation of so many of the famed Loire caves, Saumur is famous for its Chenin blanc based sparkling wines. Inside the Saumur region, Saumur-Champigny creates some of the Loire’s greatest Cabernet Francs.
