Saga R
Generations of local knowledge have taught our grape growers the secrets of each appellation. They know where to source the best grapes to create the most outstanding wines.
The vintage
Weather for the 2020 vintage was capricious, with a very mild winter encouraging an early bud break. The spring was very wet and rainy, causing flower abortion in some grape varieties and a significant threat of mildew. During the summer, a heat wave affected the ripening of the grapes in some places, particularly on the left bank with its gravelly, permeable soil. The right bank fared better with its more clayey soil that retains moisture. The difficult weather conditions gave our technicians a hard time, but professionalism and patience enabled us to produce a fresh, aromatic wine.

Tasting
Beautiful dark garnet colour.
Seductive, complex bouquet, with intense aromas of cocoa, vanilla and blackberries. Smoky notes develop with swirling.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, elegant and harmonious, with good freshness on the finish and excellent length.
