The 2024 Domaine Sauveroy Cuvée Ose Iris is a vibrant and fruit-driven Cabernet Franc from Anjou in the Loire Valley. Organically grown on weathered schist soils, it shows raspberry, strawberry and redcurrant alongside ripe blackberry and subtle savoury notes, capturing a fresh and expressive side of Cabernet Franc.
On the palate, it is supple, fleshy and generous, with juicy berry fruit supported by fresh acidity and fine, closely knit tannins. Ose Iris is the domaine’s softest and most approachable red cuvée, emphasising purity of fruit rather than heavy extraction. The finish remains lively and persistent, with fresh red berries and gentle savoury complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Cabernet Franc drinkers looking for a lighter, fruit-forward expression of Anjou. Its juicy berry fruit, fine tannins and fresh structure make it particularly versatile with food. Enjoy young for its vibrant fruit or allow some short-term bottle development. Ideal with charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, tomato-based pasta, grilled pork, roast chicken or semi-hard cheeses.
