Have just been able to taste the 2022 Saumur Rouge “La Nomade” as well as the 2022 Saumur-Champigny “Les Sybarites” in Le 5 Wine Bar in Toulouse and they were both some of the best Loire cab francs I have tried recently. Both excellent. Would love to know whether they are available in the UK

I connected with Etienne, and they are working with BBR in the UK. The next shipment will be early 2025. 🙂

Thanks for reading, Keith! I’m so glad you got to try these and loved them! I shall ask Etienne about UK distribution and get back to you swiftly. 😊

Excellent! Love Anatole’s wines. Enjoy your visits to Domaine Moly and Sables Vertes. I still need to visit Caroline and Hervé. Hopefully soon!

A producer to watch for sure, thoroughly impressed with their '21s! Great profile.

Absolutely! I’m glad you’ve had a chance to taste the wines as well. I’m excited to try their 23s. 😁
