Le Pavillon de Targé 2020
Saumur-Champigny AOC
The wines of Saumur-Champigny rarely escape the borders of France - they are too well-loved in their homeland. This is a gorgeously silky, supple, pure Cabernet Franc red, from Paul Pisani-Ferry's 300-year-old, organic family estate.

The Wine
Château de Targé has been in the Pisani-Ferry family since 1655. Paul P-F took over in 2017, to continue the family heritage and to give it new life. He immediately started converting the vineyards to be fully organic, so they would last another three centuries! He has reintroduced biodiversity, planting trees and different vegetation to attract the 'good' insects and deter the unwelcome. All the vineyards are centred around the 11th-century Eglise du Parnay, and are planted on limestone soils with the region's hero grapes, Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Paul has wide experience, working in California, Stellenbosch, Mendoza and Sonoma. A light touch in the cellar has produced this fine, silky red. Superb with grilled meats or seared tuna.
"Strawberries, violets and a whiff of smoke, there's a lot to like about this Cabernet Franc"
