Étienne Bodet Clos Durandière Saumur Rouge 2022 Magnum 1.5L

Clos Durandière 2022 is Étienne Bodet's Cabernet Franc from Montreuil-Bellay in Saumur, presented in a 1.5-litre magnum. The vineyard sits on Jurassic limestone, with shallow soils that give this small site a distinctive place in the Loire's varied geological landscape.

Bodet's aim is to develop refined tannins while preserving the character of the fruit. Native-yeast fermentation, gentle extraction and extended barrel maturation are central to that approach. The resulting style brings together fragrant fruit, freshness and a composed structure. For the 2022 wine, importer notes describe floral nuances, delicate red fruit and notably fine tannins, offering a different perspective on the depth Cabernet Franc can achieve.

Our suggested pairings include roast lamb, duck, pork with herbs or mushrooms served with lentils. Pour slightly cool into a generous red-wine glass and let it open gradually over the course of the meal. The magnum contains the equivalent of two standard bottles, ideal for sharing. This listing is for one 2022 Clos Durandière magnum, with a total capacity of 1.5 litres.
