2022 Clos Maurice Voltige - Saumur-Champigny AOC
Tasting Notes
Medium ruby with garnet tones. The nose is savory and expressive, blending red currant, dried herbs, and a touch of black pepper. On the palate, it is sleek and structured, with earthy red fruit, firm tannins, and a persistent, herbal-driven finish that shows clarity and finesse.
About Clos Maurice
A family-owned estate in the heart of Saumur-Champigny, with continuous farming roots since 1783. Today, the Domaine is led by Nicolas Gaignon and is fully certified organic and biodynamic, emphasizing minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. The estate’s vineyards lie on classic tuffeau limestone soils, producing beautifully lifted, mineral-driven Cabernet Francs that are both vibrant and age-worthy. In addition to their reds, Clos Maurice also crafts a complex sparkling Crémant. All wines are marked by purity, freshness, and a deep sense of place and reflect a thoughtful, contemporary approach grounded in centuries of tradition.
