Accustomed to gold medals and last awarded in 2026 at the Vinalies Competition - Oenologists of France organized in partnership with Le Figaro, with the "Grand Gold" medal, and at the Grands Vins de France competition with the Gold medal, Amarante is the Domaine's signature Saumur red wine, certified "In conversion to organic farming" (AB) and "High Environmental Value level 3" since 2021. Amarante wood comes from the forests of South America: it is a red wood, a sustainable wood, a precious wood, a wood fit for a king. What can be said about the 2022 vintage? Visually, its garnet color is intense. On the nose, the aromas are complex: immediately, one discerns notes of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry) which are structured around subtle woody notes resulting from 24 months of aging in selected French oak barrels, then discreet notes of amaretto, licorice, cherry, and roasting emerge. On the palate, the attack is silky and elegantly fresh, blossoming into generous notes of mocha and ripe black fruits, finally developing a superb, mouthwatering, and saline finish, with a background of brioche and toasty notes. The tannins are elegant and supple. Serve at 16°C with meats and cheeses. The 2022 Amarante can be enjoyed now. Those with more patience will wait a few years.
