The 2022 La Renière Saumur Rouge Le Moulin Repenti is an expressive Loire Valley red showing red cherry, raspberry and blackberry alongside violet, fresh herbs, subtle pepper and earthy spice. The 2022 vintage gives the wine generous ripe fruit while retaining the freshness and savoury character associated with Loire reds. Fine mineral notes add further definition and lift to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely structured, with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins and layers of red and dark fruit. Raspberry and cherry are complemented by blackberry, leafy herbs, subtle spice and gentle earthy notes, creating a balanced and savoury mid-palate. A delicate mineral character adds length and freshness, while the supple tannins provide enough structure for short-term cellaring. The finish is dry, fresh and persistent, with lingering red fruit, herbs and subtle spice.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy elegant Loire reds with bright fruit, fresh acidity and savoury complexity. It is approachable now but has enough structure to develop further herbal and earthy character in bottle. Best enjoyed over the next 4–7 years. Pair with roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, pork tenderloin with mustard, wild mushroom tart, grilled sausages with white beans, or roasted beetroot with lentils and goat’s cheese.
