The 2019 Domaine Sauveroy Ultima Terra is a powerful and complex Cabernet Franc from Anjou-Villages in the Loire Valley. Grown on red schist soils, it shows ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and plum alongside violet, black pepper, smoky oak and subtle earthy notes.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with generous dark fruit supported by firm, finely structured tannins. Eighteen months of barrel maturation adds depth, spice and a polished oak character, while the Cabernet Franc retains freshness and definition. With bottle age, the wine is developing additional savoury complexity while maintaining a long, powerful and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Cabernet Franc drinkers looking for a richer, more structured and cellar-worthy expression of Anjou. Its combination of ripe dark fruit, firm tannins, spice and savoury complexity makes it particularly well suited to hearty dishes. Ideal with grilled lamb, roast beef, steak, slow-cooked beef, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses.
