{"product_id":"sables-verts-saumur-champigny-rouge-2024","title":"Domaine des Sables Verts, Saumur-Champigny, 2024","description":"This is Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc grown in the same small patch as Clos Rougeard, Thierry Germain and Antoine Sanzay. It's made without oak or fuss and is meant for drinking, not for waiting on. Caroline Meurée and Hervé Malinge bought the domaine in late 2018. She came from Château Lamothe in Bordeaux, and he had worked in St-Émilion, Burgundy and Roussillon. They now farm 33 plots around the village of Varrains organically, with certification underway. The name means \"green sand,\" after the greenish sand in many of the appellation's best vineyards, and this 2024 comes from 28-year-old vines on clay-limestone, green sand and tuffeau at 60 to 80 metres. In the cellar they split the hand-harvested fruit: half got a quick five-day maceration and half a longer 15-day one. All of it fermented on native yeasts and spent seven months in stainless steel. Saumur-Champigny has quietly become one of France's great red-wine values, and this is a very good everyday way into it.","brand":"Polaner [POL]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50906112884793,"sku":"NYC-W-POL-`FSV033`-102226-22","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5267.jpg?v=1792782934","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/sables-verts-saumur-champigny-rouge-2024","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
