From Saumur-Champigny in the Loire Valley, France, Domaine des Roches Neuves Franc de Pied 2021 is a dry red wine made entirely from Cabernet Franc grown on ungrafted vines. Aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, violet, black olive, fennel, dried herbs, tobacco, and cracked pepper lead to a fresh, medium-bodied palate with vibrant acidity, supple tannins, mineral tension, and a long, lightly saline finish. This biodynamic Saumur-Champigny is a strong choice for those looking for a distinctive Loire Valley Cabernet Franc with pure fruit, savory complexity, and the rare character of franc de pied vines.

Pair with beef tartare, roasted lamb, grilled pork, game birds, herb-roasted chicken, mushrooms, lentils, grilled vegetables, charcuterie, or goat cheese.
