The kind that fills a table and keeps everyone in their seats long after the plates have been cleared. Jeanne Germain named her Cabernet Franc for exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe fruit comes from old vines, averaging forty years, spread across Chaintres, Varrains and Saumur. Underneath sits the chalky tuffeau that gives Saumur-Champigny its lift and freshness, with pockets of sand and clay over limestone. Rows are left to grass over naturally and the vineyards are worked organically and biodynamically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEverything is picked by hand into crates and passed over a sorting table before it reaches the tank. Fully destemmed, ten days on skins, then four months in old barrels that season the wine without ever marking it. Bottled unfiltered, with as little done to it as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe result is a wine of immediate pleasure. Bright, crunchy red fruit leads, with the graphite and violet edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Full of Life Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46872974655660,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/9770\/5644\/files\/Domaine_Jeanne_Germain_-_Saumur_Champigny_Bavardages_Cabernet_Franc_2024.png?v=1785831590","url":"https:\/\/fulloflifewine.nz\/products\/domaine-jeanne-germain-saumur-champigny-bavardages-cabernet-franc-2024","provider":"Full of Life Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
