Purchased on release and stored in professional climatized cellar Shipping in Europe (no UK) "The 2009 Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux has a discreet, rather floral bouquet with a sweet core that exhibits subtle aromas of mocha, tobacco, black olive tapenade. Full-bodied, concentrated and firmly structured the silky textured and persistent wine has a well hidden power due to its phenomenal vitality and freshness. The tannins are ripe, fine and quite smooth but structured. Nadine Foucault: 'A great wine is not big or heavy. It just needs intensity and finesse, not to mistake for extract and meagerness" 93/100 Wine Advocate
