Chateau du Hureau, Saumur-Champigny "Tuffe", 2023
Cabernet Franc from soft chalk, named for the rock it grows on. Tuffe is Chateau du Hureau's classic bottling of Saumur-Champigny, drawn from parcels rooted in tuffeau, the soft Cretaceous limestone that gives these Loire reds their bright minerality and lift. It's 100% Cabernet Franc, fermented with native yeasts and raised in tank rather than oak so the fruit stays pure and juicy. Fifth-generation vigneron Philippe Vatan works the estate organically (certified since 2007), with cellars carved straight into the tuffeau shelf. The 2023 is fresh, floral, and immediately drinkable, and it takes a slight chill beautifully.
