Domaine Antoine Sanzay 'La Paterne' Saumur-Champigny 2023

The 2023 La Paterne is supple, perfumed and delicious for early drinking. There's an unobtrusive touch of reduction that adds zest to the red fruit, orange peel and floral notes. After ten months of aging in concrete, the aromatics are allowed to shine. There's richness on the palate and a hint of sweetness on the finish.
