Domaine Bobinet Hanami is a captivating wine that showcases the expertise of its producer. Hailing from the renowned appellation of Saumur-Champigny in the Loire Valley, this wine is crafted from grapes grown in exceptional vineyards which contribute to the wine's distinct flavor profile. Hanami is our “vin de soif,” a wine to drink in its youth, to enjoy its fruity and fragrant character. Made from several parcels of Cabernet Franc, we vinify this wine with the goal of preserving the aromas of fresh grape juice. The texture is rather light, the aromatics direct and frank. It’s our spring wine! Ideal as an aperitif with simple food.
