The 2020 Domaine Sauveroy Cuvée Ose Iris is a vibrant Cabernet Franc from Anjou in the Loire Valley. Grown on the region’s schist-derived soils, it shows raspberry, wild strawberry and redcurrant alongside ripe blackberry, subtle florals and gentle savoury notes.
On the palate, it is supple and generous, with juicy red and dark berry fruit supported by fresh acidity and fine, closely knit tannins. Rather than the firmer structure of the domaine’s Andécaves cuvée, Ose Iris emphasises freshness, fruit purity and an approachable texture. The finish is lively and fruit-driven, with subtle savoury complexity adding balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Cabernet Franc drinkers looking for a softer, fruit-forward expression of Anjou. Its juicy berry fruit, fresh acidity and fine tannins make it particularly versatile with food. Ideal with charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, grilled pork, roast chicken, tomato-based pasta, grilled lamb or semi-hard cheeses.
