NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Filliatreau Château Fouquet Saumur is a delightful, medium-bodied red wine with a ruby-red color and aromas of red fruit and spice.On the palate, the wine is smooth and velvety, with a medium-bodied tannic structure and flavors of plum, cherry and a hint of black pepper. The finish is medium-long, with a lingering hint of earthiness. A great choice for a casual dinner or pairing with lamb.
