Domaine Filliatreau Saumur Champigny, 2020
For over a decade, Domaine Filliatreau has gained recognition in the greatest gourmet restaurants as one of the finest winemakers of Val de Loire.
"Unburdened by unnecessary winemaking in an excellent vintage, this Cabernet Franc has strawberry and raspberry fruit with underlying bramble-bush hints. A dose of crunchy, youthful tannin completes the package". Drink 2017-2020 Decanter Magazine July 2017 (2015 vintage)

Domaine Filliatreau
In 1967, Maurice Filliatreau let his son, Paul, have 8 hectares of his vineyard. At that time, rosé wines were predominant and today's prestige surrounding the delicacy of Saumur Champigny had not yet been fully acknowledged. As a lover of these light red wines with berry flavours, Paul Filliatreau devoted all his time to producing them.
To make these flavours appreciated by the public, he travelled all over France. Today, wine lovers seek out "Saumur Champigny wines" from the Filliatreau Estate.
In 1990, Fredrik joined his father at the head of the wine-producing business. Through their method and perseverance, Paul and Fredrik Filliatreau are now running a vineyard of more than 40 hectares.

Loire
