{"product_id":"2021-domaine-du-collier-saumur-charpentrie-rouge","title":"2021 Domaine du Collier, Saumur Rouge, La Charpentrie","description":"Antoine Foucault and Caroline Boireau farm the La Charpentrie vineyard in Brézé with a focus on deep-rooting vine health, utilizing biodynamic practices to ensure the Cabernet Franc interacts directly with the site’s fundamental tuffeau limestone subsoil.  The 2021 growing season, characterized by a cool and slow-maturing summer, favored the preservation of natural acidity and aromatic precision, yielding a wine defined by structural tension rather than extraction.\n\nThe vinification is deliberately hands-off, involving fermentation with indigenous yeasts in barrel and an extended élevage of two to three years without racking in the domaine’s cold, underground tuffeau cellars.  This patience results in a profile of fine-grained, persistent tannins and a dense, chalky mineral core, illustrating the ability of this terroir to produce Cabernet Franc of significant longevity and architectural definition.","brand":"Polaner Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648948719864,"sku":"18197","price":124.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3330.jpg?v=1772731121","url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/products\/2021-domaine-du-collier-saumur-charpentrie-rouge","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
