The 2023 Domaine Sauveroy Cuvée Andécaves is a rich and expressive Cabernet Franc from Anjou-Villages in the Loire Valley. Grown on schist, sandstone, quartz and gravel soils, it reveals ripe blackberry and dark plum alongside violet, savoury spice and subtle earthy notes.
On the palate, it is concentrated and structured, with generous dark fruit supported by fine, polished tannins and fresh acidity. Extended maturation over 18 months, including 12 months in seasoned barrels, adds depth and texture while allowing the fruit to remain expressive. The finish is refined and persistent, with dark fruit, spice and savoury complexity lingering through the palate.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Cabernet Franc drinkers looking for a structured and age-worthy expression of Anjou. Its combination of ripe dark fruit, floral character, fine tannins and savoury complexity makes it particularly suited to the table. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Ideal with grilled lamb, roast beef, steak, slow-cooked meats, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses.
